There’s an AI calculator that predicts when you’ll die but it’s not available for all
Scientists have reportedly invented an AI calculator that can predict your death with “eerily exact accuracy,” but people are more concerned about finding out if they can access it for free.
AI has undeniably redefined life for humans, and now, it’s trying to forecast our death. The AI calculator is said to use a “sequence of life events to predict human lives,” but it’s not available for all at the moment.
No, you can’t access the AI death calculator
The AI death calculator is currently not available for the general public or corporations, so there’s no way to access it for free. Soon after the study was made public, people began searching on Google to find out if they could use it for free regardless of its ability to predict one’s death with “eerily exact accuracy”.
Should the AI calculator ever become open for mainstream use, it still wouldn’t be used to inform individuals about the end of their lives for purposes such as insurance or for making hiring decisions, reports the New York Post.
The study’s lead author, Sune Lehmann, emphasized the purpose of the revolutionary invention: The predictions are not used for anything. The point of the life2vec is to understand whats possible and not possible to predict.

How does the study predict your life expectancy?
The research was reportedly conducted using the technology behind ChatGPT, in which, every individual was presented as a sequence of events that happens in their life. This is also why the December 2023 study is titled – Using Sequence of life-events to Predict Human Lives.
The scientists came up with an algorithm known as life2vec, which uses specific details from a person’s life including their profession, income, health history, and more to determine the life expectancy, with “78% correctness.”
Sune compares human lives with language to explain the premise of the study. “Just like words follow each other in sentences, events follow each other in human lives, he said.
The model can reportedly predict “almost anything” by closely examining people’s past, but the above study only focuses on death as “its something people have worked on for many years,” said the lead author.
The life2vec was first used on a population of six million Danish people of different ages and sexes between 2008 and 2020 to understand who was likely to live for at least four years after January 1, 2016.
Humans aren’t too keen to know when they’ll die
As intriguing as it may sound to know when your life may come to an end, most people don’t want to learn about their own deaths.
“Hell no. Why would I go to Google when they talking about an AI death calculator thats extremely accurate?” said one.
Another added: “AI death calculator predicts when you die? Hell nah, Im good on that.”
“I don’t know why would anyone want to know about their death. I don’t,” read one comment.
