AI-generated digital twins of patients can predict future diseases

An AI tool that creates digital twins of patients can predict our future health, according to a new study. Named Foresight, the tool uses generative pre-trained transformers, the same family of large language models (LLMs) used by ChatGPT.  Researchers in the UK first trained the models on medical records. Next, they fed their tool fresh healthcare data to create virtual duplicates of patients. Finally, the digital twins forecast various outcomes, from disease development to medicatio
