Episode notes
AI Outperformed Doctors In ER Triage
- OpenAI's O1 model matched or beat ER attendings at triage, hitting correct or near-correct diagnoses in 67% of 76 real cases.
- After admission with more data, O1 rose to 81.6% versus attending rates of 78.9% and 69.7%, showing strong triage capability.
