The study, which had a major impact on the medical world and was published in Science magazine, compared the performance of hundreds of doctors with artificial intelligence models. In the experiment, conducted on 76 patients admitted to a Boston hospital, artificial intelligence and doctors were given standard electronic health records consisting of patients' vital signs and notes from nursing staff.
According to the results, artificial intelligence provided results that were very close to the correct diagnosis in 67 percent of cases, but the success rate of doctors remained between 50 and 55 percent. Artificial intelligence's reasoning ability has been observed to dwarf human experts, particularly in emergency room triage situations where quick decisions must be made with limited information.
Artificial intelligence can perform clinical reasoning
Another notable result of the research came from long-term treatment planning. Artificial intelligence tested on five different cases in creating antibiotic therapies and planning critical treatment processes achieved an 89 percent success rate; Doctors who use traditional sources such as search engines remained at 34 percent.
Independent experts emphasize that these results are proof that artificial intelligence is not just software that solves exam questions, but has taken a big step forward in clinical reasoning. The most striking parts of the research are the cases in which artificial intelligence enables life-saving interventions, particularly by detecting rare disease processes that doctors may miss.
Will this mean that the profession of doctor will disappear?
However, these results do not mean that doctors will lose their profession, experts say. Current AI models cannot yet directly analyze a patient’s physical appearance, stress levels or visual symptoms and can only provide a “second opinion” through text-based data.
The study authors say that in the next decade, medicine; He predicts that this will result in a triple care model consisting of doctor, patient and artificial intelligence. While there remain deficiencies in the legal framework, such as who should be held responsible for the failures of artificial intelligence, it is recognized that the technology has ushered in such a profound change that it will reshape the practice of medicine.
