AI Outperforms Human Doctors in Emergency Medicine Triage, Harvard Study Finds

A groundbreaking Harvard study published in Science found that AI systems outperformed human doctors in emergency medicine triage, with OpenAI's o1 reasoning model achieving 67% diagnostic accuracy versus 50-55% for physicians. The AI identified exact or very close diagnoses in 76 patients at a Boston hospital, and significantly outperformed doctors in treatment planning (89% vs 34%). Researchers emphasize AI will not replace doctors but become part of a new triadic care model combining doctor, patient, and AI.
