Microsoft's AI System Diagnoses Diseases Four Times More Accurately Than

Microsoft has unveiled an innovative artificial intelligence system designed for medical diagnostics. The development utilizes a team of specialized AI agents, each responsible for a specific task.

The agents analyze patient symptoms, consider potential diagnoses, ask clarifying questions, and cross-check each other's hypotheses. Based on the collected data, the system generates the most probable diagnosis.

Experimental testing results demonstrated the system's impressive effectiveness.

The artificial intelligence successfully diagnosed conditions in 83% of cases. For comparison: general practitioners, who were allowed to use the internet and reference books, achieved a result of only 36%. This means that the accuracy of the AI system exceeds specialists' performance by approximately four times.

The emergence of such technologies sparks debate about the future role of doctors in medicine.

• Some experts believe that AI will eventually be able to perform diagnostics completely independently.
• Others argue that the final decision regarding treatment should always remain with humans.
