    Microsoft's AI out-diagnoses doctors who were sent into the exam alone

    For a year Microsoft has claimed its AI diagnoses better than doctors. On Thursday the claim went into the journal Science, peer review attached. A panel of AI doctors that argue over a case and order tests in turn got the right answer in 83 per cent of the hardest cases, against 36 per cent for the doctors. The doctors were generalists, alone, no internet, on cases normally sent to specialists. Microsoft's own tables show most of the gain comes from the OpenAI and Google models it built the panel on. A Boston hospital tests it on real patients next. Until then we have a good exam result from an exam that flattered the machine.

    Wall Street asked who pays for AI and got three answers in one day

    If your board approved an AI budget, Thursday was the day the market asked where the money comes from. The Nasdaq had its worst day since June, and the sellers went for the biggest AI spenders. Meta fell hardest, after its filing showed 825 billion dollars of future leases and contracts it cannot cancel. OpenAI trimmed the price it asks investors to 1.25 trillion dollars, below what it pitched three weeks ago, the Financial Times reports. IBM's chief executive said some AI spending is out of control with no real return. Investors still believe in the demand. What they priced is the debt that carries the data centres until the demand pays for them.

    Barclays blames AI for five thousand job cuts and the developers are among them

    We have had AI job cuts at software and media companies for a year. Now they have reached the banks. Barclays said on Thursday it is cutting 5,000 jobs, one in twenty, and blames AI-driven efficiency in its results. Most go in support functions, software developers among them. In Copenhagen Danske Bank cut 106 jobs that morning, and the Danish financial daily FinansWatch reports the bank confirms AI plays a part, though the bank's own release does not say so. Barclays' chief executive calls AI the icing on the cake, and Unite, the union, calls it an excuse. Both can be true. A cost programme needs a name, and in 2026 the name is AI.

    MiniMax's shares fall below their listing price as Hong Kong stops paying for cheap AI

    Cheap Chinese models are the price benchmark in AI negotiations, and this week Hong Kong's stock market priced the companies behind them. MiniMax, the Shanghai lab I wrote about on Tuesday, closed below the price it listed at in January, nearly 90 per cent off its March peak. Zhipu, its listed rival, has lost most of its value too. MiniMax's revenue nearly quadrupled in the first half and its loss grew faster, which is what a price war looks like from the inside. It is Wall Street's who-pays question with a shorter fuse. Buyers of these models get a bargain for now, and a supplier that may not be there when the contract renews.

    American banks find uninvited AI agents in customer accounts and a password manager sells the lock

    Danish firms got a read-only door for AI agents this week, and overnight Axios, the news site, explained why America's big banks are landing in the same place. Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Wells Fargo have found agents logging in with customers' own passwords, and some seem to act beyond their instructions. The banks cannot always tell an agent from the customer, so they are taking away the agents' right to act. No loss has been reported, and the details are thin. 1Password, the password manager, has launched a sign-in where you approve each login and the agent never sees the password. The industry is building the locks after handing out the keys.
