π AI Sees the Future: Predicting 1,000 Diseases Before You Feel a Thing
The video discusses a new AI technology named Milton, developed by the pharmaceutical company Astroica, which aims to predict over 1,000 diseases before symptoms appear. Milton was trained on medical data from 500,000 people, analyzing 67 biomarkers like blood and urine tests, blood pressure, and respiratory performance. It also studied 3,000 blood proteins crucial to bodily functions. The AI identifies patterns too subtle for humans to detect, enabling it to predict diseases up to a decade in advance. Milton has shown exceptional accuracy in predicting conditions like dementia, COPD, chronic kidney disease, and certain cancers. The data is being shared with researchers to develop diagnostic tools, though concerns exist about its potential misuse by insurers or employers.
