Microsoft claims AI diagnostic tool outperforms human doctors
Current overview (not historical)
Microsoft announced that its AI tool, The Diagnostic Orchestrator, achieved 83% diagnostic accuracy in tests, representing a 130% improvement over ordinary doctors and scoring 80% in emergency cases compared to doctors' 47%. The system, built on OpenAI GPT-5 with multi-agent reasoning, was tested using past medical cases from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. While Microsoft plans to open-source the SDBench benchmark dataset and conduct real clinical trials, the system has only been tested on historical data, and its real-world clinical performance remains unclear.
