An artificial intelligence-powered 'Death Clock' is making headlines after claiming to predict when an individual may die. The free website called Death Clock analyses personal data such as age, body mass index, diet, exercise levels, and smoking habits to predict the date of your demise as well as how you will die.
"Our advanced life expectancy calculator AI will accurately* predict your death date for you depending on where you live, how much you smoke and your lifestyle to show your own death clock countdown," the website claims.
The clock calculates the exact age users will live to and counts down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds left until the Grim Reaper arrives, which incidentally is the logo of the website as well.
After inputting all of the necessary information, the website generates a tombstone with your predicted death date. As of the last update, the AI-powered clock had predicted the final day of over 63 million users.
"To predict your death date, simply input your date of birth, sex, smoking habits, your BMI, and the country you live in. If you don't know your BMI simply use the BMI calculator form,” the website reads.
