    Google DeepMind launches AI co-clinician research program

    Google DeepMind has announced an AI co-clinician research program exploring a “triple-care” model in which AI agents assist with patient care under clinical supervision. In blind evaluation of 98 real primary-care queries, the system had no critical errors in 97 cases, and doctors preferred its responses to those from existing evidence-synthesis tools. It also outperformed other frontier models on open-ended medication questions in OpenFDA's RxQA.

    Why it matters: Google DeepMind reports results from physician blind reviews, RxQA, and simulated remote consultations, offering a view of current medical-AI capabilities.

    Google introduces PaperVizAgent and ScholarPeer academic agents

    Google has released two AI agents for academic workflows: PaperVizAgent generates figures for papers, while ScholarPeer automates peer review. PaperVizAgent coordinates five agents for retrieval, planning, style, visualization, and review. It scored 60.2 on a 0–100 evaluation, ahead of GPT-Image-1.5, Nano-Banana-Pro, and Paper2Any, and was the only framework to exceed the human baseline of 50.0.
