Artificial Intelligence could predict with great accuracy the date of your death and also how much money you will earn throughout your life; the above, through an algorithm that works like ChatGPT making projections based on sentences.
Artificial Intelligence Can Predict the Date of Death
According to the group of Danish scientists who launched the project, Artificial Intelligence can predict a person’s income and the possible moment of their death. Scientists have developed an algorithm that uses a person’s life history to predict how they will live and when they will die. According to a new study, the model called ‘life2vec’ has an accuracy of around 78 percent, putting it on par with other algorithms designed to predict similar life outcomes. But unlike other models, it works like a chatbot, using existing details to predict what will happen next.
The Artificial Intelligence-based ‘destiny calculator’ was developed by scientists in Denmark and the United States who trained a machine learning algorithm with a huge amount of Danish data. They provided him with all kinds of information on more than six million real people, including income, profession, place of residence, injuries, and pregnancy history.
A Surprising Prediction Model
The result was an AI model that can process simple language and generate predictions about a person’s likelihood of dying early or their lifetime earnings. Some of the factors that can lead to an early death include being male, having a mental health diagnosis, or working in a skilled profession. Things linked to a longer life include a higher income or playing a leadership role.
Considering each part of your life as if they were words in a sentence, life2vec predicts where the story will go based on what has been written so far. Just as users ask ChatGPT to write a song, poem, or essay, scientists can ask life2vec simple questions, such as ‘death in the next four years?’ for a specific person. The model was trained with data from 2008 to 2016. Based on its population data, it correctly predicted who had died by 2020 more than 75 percent of the time. The research was published in Nature Computational Science.
