MYCIN was the first AI system to outperform human experts. From wikipedia (because I haven't found that information in the posted book yet):
Research conducted at the Stanford Medical School found MYCIN received an acceptability rating of 65% on treatment plan from a panel of eight independent specialists, which was comparable to the 42.5% to 62.5% rating of five faculty members.[5]

- mamp 5y agoActually I think de Dombal’s work showed better than expert performance in 1974 (one of the references in the book): de Dombal, E T., Leaper, D. J., Horrocks, J. C., Staniland, J. R., and McCann, A. E 1974. Human and computer aided diagnosis of abdominal pain: Further report with emphasis on the performance of clinicians. British Medical Journal 1: 376-380.
- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoThanks- I haven't read that paper - or, to be fair, any of the MYCIN papers. I only knew this from ... word of mouth, I think? Let's put it down to "lore". I'll read the paper and revise my knowledge- thanks again!
