New benchmark evaluates AI agent systems for autonomous pathology workflows

A new benchmark, ACP-Bench, has been developed to evaluate agentic harness systems for autonomous computational pathology (ACP). This framework adapts existing systems to pathology-specific tasks, tools, and evidence standards, assessing 41 workflow tasks across various categories and body systems. The benchmark evaluated nine models and three harness groups, generating 369 complete trajectories. Results indicated that while workflow initiation and diagnostic reporting were more mature, formal end-to-end completion remained rare, highlighting the need for reusable standards to audit reliable clinical autonomy in agentic systems.

IMPACT Establishes a new standard for evaluating AI agent capabilities in clinical pathology, potentially accelerating safe adoption.
