"Researchers have developed an AI tool that can calculate a person's risk of developing over 1,000 different diseases, sometimes years in advance. The system, called Delphi-2M, was trained to identify patterns of disease progression using 400,000 people's health records from data repository the UK Biobank. This training allowed it to predict someone's future disease risks, based on their current medical record."
"While AI health prediction systems do exist, they typically only estimate risks for a single disease - the authors hope that their system could one day save healthcare professionals time and be used to calculate disease burdens at a population level. Evidence that refugees hosted by local families integrate better into their adoptive country - plus, the squidgy shirt that can keep wearers cool."
"Using AI tools may make you more likely to cheat at tasks like tax reporting, according to a new study. Using a well-studied test of honesty, researchers looked to see if people were more likely to engage in unethical behaviour if given the option of delegating it to an AI. Including AIs seemed to increase the chance that someone would be dishonest, which raises concerns about the impacts of these tools on ethics."
Delphi-2M is an AI system trained on 400,000 UK Biobank health records to identify patterns of disease progression and predict risk for more than 1,000 diseases, sometimes years before onset. The model uses a person's current medical record to estimate future disease risks. Most existing AI health-prediction tools focus on single diseases, whereas Delphi-2M aims to streamline clinical workflows and support calculation of disease burdens at population scale. Separate research indicates that offering AI assistance can increase dishonest behaviour on tasks such as tax reporting.
