Abstract The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology triggered identity-threatening fears for radiologists becoming replaced by machines. Beyond this competitive narrative humans versus AI, a collaborative human–AI-interaction emerged with new metaphorical landscape both the functions AI and roles radiologists. This article aims to raise awareness ethical implications figurative language human–AI interaction digital radiology. paper is divided into two parts. first part justifies approach metaphor analysis medicine, draws spectrum choices, introduces taxonomies interaction. We use these preliminaries as hermeneutical tool conduct such second part. There, we identify prevalent metaphors radiological community discuss their regarding responsibility assignments. argue that while can facilitate narrative, they may also lead undesirable consequence attributing moral which lacks necessary features responsibility. metaphorically constructed ranges from “time-saving tool” “assistant” “ally”. For radiologists, found analogies are derived contexts aviation (radiologists “pilots” “auto-pilots”), war at “forefront technological development”), music “conductors” multi-disciplinary teams), hierarchical power “technology thought leaders”). Despite radiologists’ expressed willingness collaborate actively prevailing analogy “tool” primarily suggests mere delegation routine tasks, same time allowing maintain professional competencies. However, AI-savvy non-AI-savvy emerged, transforming initial human competition.
