Artificial intelligence out performing doctors?

 Newsmax:

...

Microsoft has unveiled a new medical tool, fueled by artificial intelligence, that it claims far outperforms human doctors in diagnosing complex ailments.

Mustafa Suleyman, who formed an AI health unit for the tech giant last year, told Financial Times for an interview published Monday that the company is nearing "AI models that are not just a little bit better, but dramatically better, than human performance: faster, cheaper, and four times more accurate."

The Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator, or "MAI-DxO," he added, will be "truly transformative."

The new system is the first initiative emerging from the AI unit, which Suleyman formed by poaching staff from DeepMind, a research lab he co-founded. Google now owns DeepMind.

Suleyman, the chief executive of Microsoft AI, said that the system's trial is a step on the way to "medical superintelligence," which would both help solve staffing issues and long waiting times for health systems.

The AI model uses an "orchestrator" creating panels of five AI agents that act as "doctors." Each of the agents has a role, such as choosing testing, and they interact to determine how to move forward.

Researchers fed MAI-DxO with 34 studies from the New England Journal of Medicine that describe how doctors have solved some of the most complicated cases, allowing researchers to test if the program could determine a correct diagnosis.

The decision-making process uses a "chain of debate" technique, making AI reasoning models give an accounting of how they solve problems.

Someone still has to program the artificial intelligence and make it available to patients.  I would not feel comfortable doing that on my own.

A global war on insurgency Roxanna Tiron: The anti-insurgency tactics the U.S. military is learning in Iraq could be applied globally, which would turn the war on terrorism into a “war on insurgency,” said Lt. Gen. William Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and war fighting support. “My position is that this is a global insurgency,” said Boykin during a forum on special operations and low intensity conflict. In Iraq and other trouble spots, the United States has to come to grips with the nature of the enemy, he explained. “It is a web of networks that come together in a coalition of convenience. There are links to drug trafficking, money laundering and the like,” he said. An insurgency is a political-military activity, in which the political aspects are much more ...

The myth of 'voter suppression'

 DailyWire: Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Dhillon Law Group Inc., blasted Democrats’ claims of race-based voter suppression while pointing out the real threat to U.S. election integrity: the federalization of election law. Dhillon and her law firm are representing The Daily Wire in its legal challenge against the Biden administration’s order mandating that large employers either vaccinate or mask and COVID-19 test all their employees. The Supreme Court stayed the order on January 13 in a major blow to the government. Roughly two weeks later, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration withdrew the rule to reassess its implementation. Dhillon is set to appear on “The Ben Shapiro: Sunday Special” episode airing Sunday, January 30. During the episode, Dhillon and host Ben Shapiro cover topics from the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stay President Joe Biden’s vaccine order for large employers and conservatives’ reluctance to engage in “lawfare” with Democrats.

Kerry's false premise on UN resolution

Gregg Roman: ... Although administration officials have been reluctant to explain the precise reasoning behind their last-minute series of attacks on Israel, as near as I can tell it rests on three assumptions. The first, as Kerry outlined in his speech, is that a freeze on Israeli settlement growth makes it easier for Palestinian negotiators to make painful compromises at the negotiating table. It supposedly does this by easing Palestinian suspicions that Israel either won't make major territorial concessions at the negotiating table, or won't implement these concessions once made. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put this assumption to the test in November 2009 when he imposed a 10-month moratorium on new housing construction (East Jerusalem excepted) at the urging of the Obama administration. What happened? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas refused to return to talks until the very end of the moratorium and remained every bit as intransigent as ...
