Microsoft Says Its New AI System Diagnosed Patients 4 Times More Accurately Than Human Doctors


The tech giant poached several top Google researchers to help build a powerful AI tool that can diagnose patients and potentially cut health care costs.

Microsoft’s researchers then built a system called the MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) that queries several leading AI models—including OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Llama, and xAI’s Grok—in a way that loosely mimics several human experts working together. Microsoft has not yet decided if it will try to commercialize the technology, but the same executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the company could integrate it into Bing to help users diagnose ailments. The new Microsoft research differs from previous work in that it more accurately replicates the way human physicians diagnose disease—by analyzing symptoms, ordering tests, and performing further analysis until a diagnosis is reached.
