Imagine a world where your doctor’s crystal ball is replaced by a super-smart AI that’s basically ChatGPT’s hypochondriac cousin, peering into your medical history like a nosy neighbor and shouting, “Hey, you might get gout in five years—better skip the steak!” Scientists from across Europe have whipped up this Delphi-2M model, trained on half a million Brits’ data, to predict over 1,000 ailments way ahead of time. It’s like having a fortune teller who actually knows grammar, spotting heart attack risks better than your age alone. But hold the applause—it’s not ready for prime time yet, and experts warn about biases in the data. Still, it could revolutionize preventive medicine, turning “an apple a day” into “an AI scan a day” for stretched healthcare systems.
