A new study in Nature Medicine offers a glimpse of what happens when doctors work side by side with artificial intelligence. The trial compared ophthalmologists making diagnoses on their own to those using an AI copilot called EyeFM. The results were striking. Physicians with AI support reached a diagnostic accuracy of 92 percent, compared with 74 percent without it. This difference in diagnostic accuracy was reported as statistically significant with p < 0.001. And in this study, p might really stand for patient!

These differences, statistical and clinical, are not subtle. They suggest that AI can move clinical practice beyond incremental gains toward a fundamental shift in overall care. For patients, it means more confidence that their condition is being identified early and accurately. For clinicians, it means a........
