Microsoft's AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) demonstrated over twice the diagnostic accuracy of generalist physicians in a peer-reviewed study published in Science. Tested on clinical and emergency cases, the AI achieved around 80% accuracy while also reducing diagnostic costs significantly. The study was conducted in a controlled setting, and Microsoft anticipates impactful AI deployments in healthcare soon.
