MAI-DxO: 83% on Fake Cases, 0% on WebMD!
“AI aces fake patients, but real ones fight back.”
The story behind the toon
Microsoft's AI beats generalist doctors 83% to 36% on simulated cases, but hasn't faced a single real specialist—or a real patient with WebMD printouts.
What happened: Microsoft's AI that simulates a panel of doctors to diagnose medical cases.
Why it matters: It scored higher than generalist doctors on simulated tests, but hasn't been tried on real patients or specialists yet.
This Neural Toon is based on the story “Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman says its AI outperforms doctors on hard cases as he chases ‘medical superintelligence’”.
