Microsoft has unveiled MAI-DxO, an artificial intelligence system that has shown an 85.5% accuracy in diagnosing complex cases. This significantly surpasses the average 20% accuracy achieved by human doctors.
The AI system uses a language model developed by OpenAI, integrated into ChatGPT. It analyzes symptoms, requests tests, and arrives at a final diagnosis, mimicking a doctor's thought process.
MAI-DxO not only improves accuracy but also reduces diagnostic costs by requiring fewer tests. Microsoft emphasizes that the tool is designed to assist doctors, not replace them, by personalizing treatments and speeding up diagnoses.
The next step for MAI-DxO is an external clinical examination to verify its potential in real-world conditions and to exclude any manufacturer biases. These advancements in AI could significantly transform healthcare systems, improving efficiency and accuracy in medical diagnoses.
