Evaluating multimodal AI in medical diagnostics

Abstract

This study evaluates multimodal AI models' accuracy and responsiveness in answering NEJM Image Challenge questions, juxtaposed with human collective intelligence, underscoring AI's potential and current limitations in clinical diagnostics. Anthropic's Claude 3 family demonstrated the highest accuracy among the evaluated AI models, surpassing the average human accuracy, while collective human decision-making outperformed all AI models. GPT-4 Vision Preview exhibited selectivity, responding more to easier questions with smaller images and longer questions.
