Microsoft says its AI tool is better than doctors at diagnosing conditions

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman claims a new AI-powered tool can diagnose medical conditions up to four times more accurately than human doctors. A study in Science indicates the system outperforms generalist doctors on hard cases as Microsoft pursues medical superintelligence. While the company asserts this technology will significantly improve lives, reports suggest much of the improvement stems from the underlying AI models rather than the specific Microsoft system itself, marking a major step in healthcare technology.
