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.

    AI for pattern recognition (statistical stuff) IMHO is fine, it’s different than expecting original thought, reasoning or understanding, which the new ‘AI’ does not do, despite the constant hype.

      True.

      But a problem is that (as usual) it’s not actually “AI” to find patterns using statistics.

      These corporations are literally willing to murder people in order to make a buck off some phony “medical superintelligence”.

      Why would I trust these liars with my life? They’re completely anti-science.

      This. Honestly things like image detection, anomaly detection over big data sets, and semantic searching, all seem very useful in professional contexts.

      Generative AI not heavily grounded in real data is just better for no-risks tasks.
