AI chatbots outperform human doctors in diagnosis, study shows

A recent Stanford study led by Dr. Jonathan H. Chen found that AI chatbots outperformed human doctors in diagnosing illnesses and making complex medical decisions. In diagnosis tests, AI scored 90%, while doctors scored 74% to 76%. In decision-making tests, AI also excelled compared to doctors using traditional resources. Dr. Chen emphasized that while AI can enhance medical practice, it should not replace human expertise. He noted that many doctors in the study were unfamiliar with chatbots, highlighting the need for training in using AI tools. This technology could change how doctors approach patient care and decision-making.
