Danish researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, life2vec, that uses data from millions of people to predict significant life events, including health outcomes and social changes. This project aims to demonstrate the capabilities and potential risks of AI in understanding and forecasting the complexities of human life. The life2vec algorithm operates by analyzing sequences of life events, such as education, employment, and health records, to forecast future occurrences. It boasts a high accuracy rate in predicting events like mortality and relocation. This approach mirrors techniques used in language-processing AI but focuses on the predictability of human life based on event sequences. Despite its promising applications, the life2vec project is currently limited to research purposes and is not accessible to the public or the wider research community. The initiative also serves as a public counterpoint to the private AI models developed by large tech companies, highlighting the importance of transparency and ethical considerations in AI development.
