Winter Check-in Challenge
Scientists have invented an artificial intelligence chatbot that can ** when you die with 78% accuracy.
The artificial intelligence known as Life2Vec can also determine how much money you will have when death comes.
The model was created by scientists from Denmark and the United States, who fed health and demographic record data from Denmark's 6 million people into the model. Like ChatGPT, it learns to use previous words to see what happens next.
But unlike ChatGPT, this AI uses information such as income, occupation, and medical records to determine your lifespan, rather than writing poetry.
Previous studies have established that certain vital factors can lead to longer or shorter lifespans. For example, men, smokers, or poor mental health diagnoses can all contribute to shortened lifespans. Higher incomes and leadership lead to longer lives.
Each of these factors has a ** in the Danish dataset, e.g. S52 for forearm fracture and IND4726 for working in a tobacconist, which the team converted into words.
This allows people's lives to be summed up in data-rich sentences, including occupation, income, injury, and pregnancy history.
In September 2012, Francisco worked as a guard at a castle in Elsinore, earning 20,000 DKK" and "In her third year at secondary boarding school, Hermione took five electives" are examples of stories about the subject.
AI is a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT and Google's Bard, and then puts all of these words together like a jigsaw puzzle to determine a person's lifespan.
The team tested Life2vec on a group of people between the ages of 35 and 65, half of whom died between 2016 and 2020.
life2vec knows who will die and who will live with amazing accuracy – 78%.
It is also able to more accurate** personality test results than models trained specifically for this task.
Fortunately, according to your opinion, chatbots are not currently available to the public.
The team, led by Professor Sune Lehmann J Rgensen of the Technical University of Denmark, noted that since the model was trained entirely on Danish data, the results may not be as accurate for people in other countries.
They also stressed that AI must not fall into the hands of big business.
"It's clear that our model shouldn't be used by insurers because the whole idea of insurance is that we can share that burden by sharing a lack of understanding of who will be the unfortunate person who has suffered an accident, died or lost a backpack," Professor J Rgensen said. ”。
However, he added that similar technologies have already been introduced.
They're likely already being used by big tech companies that have a lot of data about us, he said.
There's another benefit to knowing when you're going to die – postpone it.
"Our framework enables researchers to uncover the underlying mechanisms that influence life outcomes, as well as the associated possibilities for personalized interventions," the team wrote in the journal Nature Computational Science. ”
