Danish AI Predicts Life Outcomes from Personal Data, Raising Ethics Questions
- Trained an AI on full health, employment, and financial records of all people in Denmark to predict life outcomes
- The AI model, Life2vec, can predict chances of dying more accurately than existing models, even those used by insurance companies
- Life2vec was also very accurate at predicting personality test results from the population data
- The researchers believe the model could help predict and prevent health/social problems if used properly
- But there are risks of misuse of such data-driven prediction models by big companies or tech firms
