Be Smart

Computers Can Predict When You're Going to Die… Here's How

I&amp;#39;m just gonna take one quick
peek at the comments. Okay.

&amp;quot;I always learn so much
from Joe.&amp;quot; That is so nice.

&amp;quot;Is it me or is he getting old?&amp;quot;

Hey, smart people. Joe
here, but for how long?

with this life-extending smoothie recipe.

Let&amp;#39;s face it. We&amp;#39;re all
a little bit like Barbie.

half of all Americans
think about death monthly,

and one out of three Gen Z&amp;#39;ers
thinks about death daily.

Should probably start doing
these without the box.

&amp;#39;cause, let&amp;#39;s face it,
being alive is pretty cool

Truth is, no matter how
hard we try to cheat death,

We can&amp;#39;t predict our death, or can we?

You didn&amp;#39;t really think that I was gonna.

and calculating with an
uncanny level of accuracy

when someone exactly like
you or me is gonna die.

I&amp;#39;m talking about predictive analytics.

Predictive analytics is
a branch of mathematics

to make predictions about future outcomes,

Shopping, sports, social media
algorithms, fraud detection,

politics, and deciding if
you&amp;#39;ll see this YouTube video,

because if a government
or business can know

what&amp;#39;s gonna happen before it
happens, that&amp;#39;s pretty useful.

It turns out we&amp;#39;ve been using math

to predict people&amp;#39;s deaths for centuries.

By the 1600s, humans were
shipping goods around the world

as long as your ship didn&amp;#39;t sink.

Captains and the people
who funded their voyages

had more to worry about than just weather.

The late 1600s were also
the golden age of piracy.

To the Lloyd&amp;#39;s Company of London,

these hooks-for-hands hooligans
looked like an opportunity.

how dangerous a particular
sea voyage would be.

Then, Lloyd&amp;#39;s would offer insurance

and lo and behold, the
insurance industry was born.

one of the largest insurers in the world,

and the predictive
analytics they pioneered

are still used to predict
risks and outcomes today,

only now it&amp;#39;s powered by
computers and they&amp;#39;re good at it.

&amp;quot;Hey, I&amp;#39;m a complex and
free will-having snowflake.

- We tend to think that
we&amp;#39;re pretty unpredictable,

but if you think about it,
if I were to guess for you

or almost anyone else where
you&amp;#39;ll be at 4:00 AM tomorrow

you&amp;#39;re gonna be at your house in bed,

Well, you&amp;#39;re gonna be at your work,

Every day, you leave
invisible breadcrumb trails

of data and behavior that
you don&amp;#39;t even think about.

Like, you might have apps
on your phone that track

or a metro card you use to catch the bus,

and you ordered coffee on
the way to the bus stop.

I hate to tell you this,
but somewhere out there,

somebody knows about all
the websites you&amp;#39;ve visited.
