In its latest experiment, Microsoft’s new AI diagnostic tool outperformed a group of doctors at diagnosing complicated medical problems. In particular, the AI system issued a correct diagnosis for roughly 85.5% of cases, which was around four times more than the group of UK and US doctors who had five to 20 years of professional experience.
Moreover, the costs of running the tool were cheaper, as the model ordered fewer scans and tests to make the diagnoses.
Microsoft did not indicate that AI could replace doctors, but the company did mention that the tools could be useful for practitioners to automate some of their tasks and speed up the process of diagnosing patients.
Indeed, this news is hardly a surprise, given the speed of technological developments when it comes to AI. But what do we know about AI technology, really?
In this gallery, you can dive into the awe-inspiring realm of artificial intelligence, a world where the once-imagined is now startlingly real.
