AI brief

Microsoft's new AI diagnostic system beat generalist doctors on hard cases in a study published in Science, according to Mustafa Suleyman, though most of the improvement appears to come from the underlying AI models rather than Microsoft's system itself.

Why it matters: It suggests the diagnostic gains may reflect the capabilities of the foundation models involved more than Microsoft's specific system.
