Microsoft’s AI Diagnoses Patients 4x More Accurately Than Doctors

FEATURED INSIGHT💡

Microsoft’s AI Diagnostician Just Outperformed Doctors by 4x

Microsoft has introduced a system called MAI-DxO that’s solving complex medical cases more accurately (and more efficiently) than experienced physicians. Tested against the famously tricky NEJM Case Records, MAI-DxO paired with OpenAI’s o3 model correctly diagnosed 85.5% of the cases. Human doctors? Just 20%.

What’s different here isn’t just accuracy, it’s reasoning. Rather than guessing from multiple-choice tests, MAI-DxO steps through real diagnostic workflows, ordering virtual tests, checking costs, and verifying its own conclusions. It mimics human thinking, orchestrating multiple models like a panel of experts.

This isn’t clinical deployment yet, but it’s a major signal. Diagnostic AI is moving past flashcard memorization and into real-world reasoning, potentially transforming how we approach medical care, cost-efficiency, and expertise at scale.

ON THE HORIZON 🌅

Cloudflare Just Changed the Rules for AI on the Open Web

In a quiet but seismic shift, Cloudflare has flipped the default on AI crawlers: no more free scraping. Now, AI bots must ask for permission before training on your content.

Why it matters: For decades, content has been indexed, not ingested. AI changed that. Crawlers now vacuum up data without attribution, killing traffic and incentive for creators. Cloudflare’s opt-in system forces AI companies to disclose their purpose and seek explicit approval.

With AI transforming how content is used, this marks a return to a model where original work is protected, and creators hold the leverage.

Keep an eye on this space. If AI companies comply, it could reshape licensing and data markets.

LATEST IMPORTANT NEWS 📰

AI Is Eating the News. Slowly, Then All at Once.

News sites are seeing a massive decline in organic search traffic, down from 2.3B to under 1.7B visits/year, as users get answers directly from AI models instead of clicking through.

ChatGPT referrals to news sites are growing (25x year-over-year), but they’re nowhere near enough to offset search declines. Publishers like Reuters and Business Insider are seeing modest gains, but others, like The New York Times, aren’t faring as well.

Meanwhile, OpenAI and Google are pushing tools that further entrench this shift, and some publishers are scrambling for solutions: paywalls, micropayments, newsletters, or just… layoffs.

This isn't just a traffic problem. It's an existential shift in how information is discovered and monetized.

Ilya Sutskever Becomes CEO of Safe Superintelligence

Following the departure of co-founder Daniel Gross, OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever is taking the helm of Safe Superintelligence, a startup singularly focused on building “safe AGI.”

Why this matters: Meta allegedly tried to acquire the entire company. Now Sutskever leads it solo, promising to build superintelligence from scratch, without side products or distractions.

Some are skeptical: Why did Gross bail if they were so close to something huge? But if SSI really is the next moonshot, Sutskever’s leadership keeps it on track… or steers it into deeper water.

xAI’s Data Center Faces Scrutiny Over Generator Use

Elon Musk’s xAI has been operating dozens of natural gas generators at its Memphis data center, some without permits. Regulators have now granted approval for 15 units, but legal groups are preparing lawsuits, citing possible Clean Air Act violations and concerns over pollutant emissions, including formaldehyde.

Why it matters: As AI infrastructure expands, so does its energy demand. This situation highlights the growing friction between rapid AI development, environmental regulation, and the push for sustainable infrastructure.

How to Build Composable, Multi-Agent Systems with ACP

The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP), built in partnership with IBM Research, makes it possible to chain agents across frameworks without glue code or tangled dependencies. If you're building multi-agent systems, or want to start, this free course will show you how to:

• Wrap agents with an ACP server

• Discover and chain them into linear and hierarchical workflows

• Create agent registries for team-wide sharing

It’s lightweight, open, and supports protocols like CrewAI, Smolagents, and more.
