Microsoft says its new AI tool performs four times better than experienced human doctors in diagnosing complex health conditions – but the company’s AIC CEO says human physicians still need to help treat diseases.
In an article released on Monday as title title “Medical Superintensils Way“Microsoft introduced an AI tool that properly diagnosed complex cases up to 85 % and reached a higher diagnosis than human physicians.

The team used more than 300 complex case studies from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and imitated a panel of physicians to find the correct diagnosis of the AI ​​tool. The AI ​​tool asked the data questions, suggesting what test the patient received, and came to the diagnosis as soon as he learned more information. Since the researchers added more data to the AI ​​tool, it updated its best evaluation estimates in real time and explained the reasoning behind its end.
Microsoft researchers said that AI Toll has properly “resolved” the NEJM case studies more than eight out of 10 – which is much better than the average success rate for human physicians. The AI ​​also ordered less hypothetical concepts to reach the correct diagnosis, making it more cost -effective than a human doctor.
Human doctors are usually characterized by expansion, such as an expert, such as a specialist, or depth, like an expert. The team noted that the AI ​​tool demonstrated “clinical reasoning capabilities”, which “is more than any person’s physician” because of his ability to combine both skills and depth.
The AI ​​tool is not yet ready for medical use and will be approved only after safety testing and clinical verification. However, Microsoft AIC CEO Mustafa Saleemin says it can help Microsoft providing “high quality” precision in response to 50 million precision questions that it receives every day through its Co -Lot AI assistant and Bang Search Engine.
“Although this is a preliminary research right now, but we are hoping that when we are in the preparation, it will give everyone access to high -quality high quality information.” Yahoo! Financial Monday

Solomon said that the AI ​​tool examines the current medical information, combines it, and returns it to humans at the right time – but still he needs human doctors so that he can hold it accountable. Doctors also need to plan and monitor treatment after diagnosis.
“You definitely still need your physician,” Solomon told Outlet, adding that the AI ​​device would likely “end in partnership with the physicians.”

Microsoft is currently examining AI tools in a real medical environment to see how it performs on a job before any wider rollout.
Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the world at the time of writing, which is second after Nvidia, whose market cap is More than 6 3.6 trillion.
