I mean you can train ai to look for really early signs of multiple diseases. It can predict the future, sort of
Didn't one ai have a lot of false positives because it would say any picture of skin with a ruler in it was cancer? The moment it saw a ruler it responded with cancer because all the data it was fed about confirmed cancers had rulers in them.
Never heard about that one care to share the soup
Google for "ai cancer ruler" worked well, a few links down: https://venturebeat.com/business/when-ai-flags-the-ruler-not-the-tumor-and-other-arguments-for-abolishing-the-black-box-vb-live/

AI is just a digital dumbass that every tech bro decided needs to be part of every part of your life from now on.
It's an extremely powerful pattern recognition tool. There are uses for that, but your right that people are going the "if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" route.
Detecting symptoms amd signs of a thing is not predicting the future.
That's like seeing a car that isn't going to stop, so you slow down before you might T-bone them. That's not really "predicting the future" but just paying attention and calculating likelihoods.
