Can an AI Predict When You Will Die?

About the event What if a computer could read your life like a book, and guess how the story ends? Here in Denmark, almost every chapter of our lives is written down somewhere: where we grow up, the jobs we take, the moments we get sick. Professor Sune Lehmann and his team turned millions of these life stories into a language an AI could read, and the model they built, life2vec, made headlines around the world for what it could predict. So how much of your future is already hiding in the data? What can it really tell, and where does it get things wrong? And who should we trust with this kind of power? Come for a surprising evening about data, fate and free will, and stay for the conversation over a drink. About the speaker Sune Lehmann is a professor at the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen, and Chief Scientist at CAISA, Denmark’s national centre for AI in society. He’s a physicist by training but ended up studying people: he uses AI and large-scale data to understand how we move, whom we connect with, and what our digital traces reveal about our lives.
