AI toilets which scan your urine and faeces could one day 'pick up on diseases earlier'

You may think the bathroom is one of few places you can expect to be left alone. But toilets may one day be giving health advice by analysing your urine and faeces, a technology boss has claimed. The chief of a company making computer chips says artificial intelligence will one day analyse people's waste in real time. This could save the need for trips to the doctor and pick up on illnesses earlier than people do, said Sanjay Mehrotra, chief executive of Micron Technology. AI could one day be used in toilets to scan people's urine and faeces to try and pick up on any diseases or health problems earlier than someone might notice them and go to the doctor And his claims aren't so far-fetched – artificial intelligence (AI) is already capable of detecting diabetes or Alzheimer's disease from scans.
