A new AI model similar to ChatGPT can very accurately predict individuals' lives as well as their risk of premature death, according to a recent study.
According to researchers from the Technical University of Denmark, the University of Copenhagen and Northeastern University behind the study published in the journal Nature Computational Science, this new AI system has trained the life stories of six million people.
The Danish researchers analyzed collected data related to the education, lifestyle and health of individuals, as well as their income, occupation, addresses and working hours.
The scientists converted this data into words in order to train a large language model called “Life2vec” that resembles the technology behind artificial intelligence applications, such as ChatGPT.
Data from a group of people between the ages of 35 and 65, half of whom died between 2016 and 2020, was analyzed by an artificial intelligence model that was able to predict outcomes such as personality traits with great accuracy and the time of death.
According to these findings, if some people can age due to their job positions and high income, then being men with skills in a certain field or affected by mental illness is associated with an increased risk of early death.
