“I think there’s still going to be a tremendous amount of judgment that is required by expert human doctors both as part of the diagnosis and then secondly making the judgment about what works for the patient, and factoring in, and helping a patient decide what journey to do.” — Mustafa Suleyman
Mustafa Suleyman is the CEO of Microsoft AI and co-founder of DeepMind. Suleyman joins Big Technology to discuss Microsoft’s new multi-agent “diagnostic orchestrator,” a system that debates patient cases and outperforms physicians on tough New England Journal of Medicine scenarios. Tune in to hear how this system already hits about 85 percent accuracy while slashing unnecessary tests and cost. We also cover what the rise of generative AI in medicine means for doctors’ roles, patient trust, real-world deployment, and the broader promise of agent orchestration across industries. Hit play for a sharp, no-hype dive into the future of AI, healthcare, and beyond.
