The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.
Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.
I know that I might be the only Lemmy user happy with this, but AI applications in the medical field seems very promising for lowering costs and being more accurate.
People don’t realize how much doctors leverage opening old books, reading subscription articles and looking at case files to help their patients out.
Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it’s AI.

Have you tried swapping out the part (CPU/videocard/memory/random component) whilst the patient is still running?
Doctors do this all the time! ;)
Until it’s not…then what. Who’s liable? Google…Amazon …Microsoft …chatgpt… Look, I like ai because it’s fun to make stupid memes and pictures without any effort but I do not trust this nonsense to do ANYTHING with accuracy especially my medical.
This thing will 100% be designed to diagnose people to sell you drugs and Not fix your health. Corporations control this. Currently they need to bribe Doctors to push their drugs…this will circumvent that entirely. You’ll end up paying drastically more, for less.
The sheer fact that’s it’s telling people to kill themselves to end suffering should be proof enough that it’s dogshit
