AI systems match doctors in medical diagnosis studies, but use outdated models

Two new studies published in Nature demonstrate that specialized AI systems can match or even surpass human physicians in diagnosing diseases and recommending treatments for simulated patients. However, a notable finding is that both AI systems are based on models that are already considered outdated, raising questions about their long-term viability and the rapid pace of AI development in healthcare.
