AI models shouldn’t just agree with us, especially when we’re wrong. In clinical settings, "model sycophancy" can lead AI to mirror a clinician’s flawed reasoning, reinforcing poor decisions. As AI integration deepens, recognizing and addressing this challenge is important for delivering safe, effective decision support. Read our deep-dive study on the challenges of medical sycophancy--and mitigations: arxiv.org/pdf/2603.14158 Enjoyed the collaboration with Ivan Lopez, @BryanBunning44, @s3verett3, and colleagues. @StanfordAIMI @StanfordMed @Microsoft

Exciting milestone for spatial proteomics. A multimodal AI model trained on 40M cells can generate “virtual immunofluorescence” from standard H&E slides, unlocking large-scale insights into protein activity in tumors and helping scale precision oncology and immunotherapy research. @satyanadella @hoifungpoon @jeyamariajose @naotous @MSFTResearch @Microsoft @providence @uwcse

We’ve trained a multimodal AI model to turn routine pathology slides into spatial proteomics, with the potential to reduce time and cost while expanding access to cancer care.

An engaging audience at special AI program at @StanfordGSB, with interesting questions, curiosities, and goals around deeply understanding the implications & pace of AI influences on people and organizations.

“I think looking back, we’ll say, ‘Wow, that’s where it all started, but we’ll still be in a time, even 20 years from now, of pretty fast-paced transformation.” @erichorvitz, Ph.D. ’91, MD.’94, Chief Scientific Officer at @Microsoft, spoke with Dean @SouleSarah as part of the GSB's applied AI initiative, AI@GSB.

Enjoyed this conversation on human decision-making amidst the rising tide of highly capable AI systems, hosted by @AllDecisionEd Full panel discussion now available below. @MSFTResearch @Decision_Edu @StanfordHAI @PartnershipAI
Alliance for Decision Education@AllDecisionEd

“AI systems can help us in well-defined manner with decisions, but it's important for us to understand how and when to use AI to bolster our own decisions.” In January we were delighted to host a virtual panel, “The Human Advantage: Decision Skills in an AI-Driven Workforce.” Our Executive Director David Samuelson moderated a conversation with @AnnieDuke, @EricHorvitz, and Mike Miles on what it means to prepare students and workers for a future shaped by AI, and they kept coming back to the same idea: tools will change, but human skills, like decision skills, will endure. The recording of the webinar is available for viewing! Revisit the conversation on our blog: alliancefordecisioneducation.org/blog/watch-the… Read the “Decision Skills in the Workforce” report: bit.ly/DecisionSkills… Join our Advocates network: alliancefordecisioneducation.org/decision-educa…

“Can AI systems truly be creative?” Brian Greene asked this question in July 2024. Reply: “If people don't think AI systems are showing creativity, hold onto your seats--and check back in 18 months." At the time, development was continuing at speed, with test-time reasoning just a couple of months from being released to the public. We're coming up on the 18-month milestone now.
