AI Doom Calculator: Predicting Your Death with Eerie Accuracy

Scientists have developed an AI algorithm called Life2vec, which functions as a chatbot and can predict when a person will die with 78% accuracy using four pieces of data, including income, profession, place of residence, injuries, and pregnancy history. The algorithm was tested on a group of people aged 35 to 65 and found to be 11% more accurate than other existing AI models. However, the researchers caution against using the model for insurance purposes, as it raises ethical concerns about sharing the burden of risk. The study was published in Nature Computational Science.
