Microsoft has formed an AI “superintelligence” team that will focus on transforming healthcare with the technology.
The tech giant expects the “arrival of medical superintelligence in the next few years,” Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman wrote in a Nov. 6 blog post.
“We’ll have expert-level performance at the full range of diagnostics, alongside highly capable planning and prediction in operational clinical settings,” he said. “It will mean world-class clinical knowledge and intervention/treatment is available everywhere.”
The Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator was accurate in 85% of New England Journal of Medicine Case Challenge diagnoses, according to a June research paper.
“Human doctors max out at about 20%, and need to order many more expensive tests,” Mr. Suleyman wrote. “In our view, both clinicians and patients alike would welcome the extra support. This work just hints at the potential to revolutionize healthcare.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
