AI defeats elite doctors in diagnosis competition

It wasn't the World Cup, but the defeat was not unlike Ronaldo and Messi losing on the same day.

An artificial intelligence system recorded a 2-0 victory against elite physicians on Saturday in two rounds of a competition in Beijing to diagnose brain tumors and predict the expansion of brain hematomas, or bruises.

BioMind, developed by researchers from the AI Research Centre for Neurological Disorders and Capital Medical University, made correct diagnoses in 87 percent of 225 cases in about 15 minutes.
