Two AI medical tools matched or surpassed doctors across a range of diagnostic and treatment decisions, in the latest sign that specialist health large language models are moving closer to demonstrating clinical value.
Mira, developed by researchers in Germany, outperformed physicians in analyses of diseases including pancreatic cancer and pneumonia, while Google’s Amie produced more precise treatments and investigation plans than humans, according to results published in Nature on Wednesday.
The studies suggest specialist health AI tools can give better medical advice than general consumer AI models. But their inventors and independent experts warned that the tests were conducted in controlled simulations and did not mean the tools were ready for real-world clinical use.
