AI Tries a Hand at Fortune Telling
We have seen ground-breaking technologies in AI, from driving your car to writing your assignments, and even creating pictures for you. Now, AI has become a fortune teller, predicting your lifespan with about 80% accuracy.
Before we go, check out this YouTube video from the “Firstpost” YouTube channel. It provides an overview of this AI fortune telling
Introducing Life2Vec
The AI model behind this fortune telling is Life2Vec. It’s a language model, similar to ChatGPT, that responds to user inputs and can predict how an individual’s health will turn out, what possible diseases one might get, and accordingly identify a person’s lifestyle. This includes data like how many times they’ve been admitted to the hospital, how many times they’ve visited the doctor, any illnesses, current occupation, and salary.
Life2Vec is this accurate because it has been trained with the real, entire dataset of the Denmark population. It’s a question of whether you believe in fortune telling or not, but this is actually scientifically predicting with your own life stories.
More Than Just a Death Predictor
Life2Vec is not just a death predictor. It can also predict what income you would earn and the chance of premature death. It’s like having a crystal ball, but instead of vague predictions, you get scientifically backed estimates.
Caution to Users
While Life2Vec can be a powerful tool, it’s important to use it responsibly. Industries like insurance companies could potentially utilise this feature, but it’s crucial to remember the ethical considerations involved. Life2Vec is not intended for individual use or decision-making, and the researchers emphasise the ethical and privacy issues of using such a tool.
Dare to Peek into the Future?
As we wrap up, it’s worth pondering – if given the chance, would people peek into the future? Would they dare to look at or understand what lies ahead? It’s a fascinating thought, and only time will tell how we choose to use these predictive tools.
