Can AI predict someone's breakup? - Thomas Hofweber

Explore one of the main issues of AI-based predictive models and how it affects user decision-making and accountability. -- A couple has been considering getting engaged, but they’re worried about divorce statistics. An AI-based model was just released that can predict your likelihood of divorce with 95% accuracy. The only catch is the model doesn’t offer any reasons for its results. So, should they decide whether or not to get married based on this AI’s prediction? Thomas Hofweber explores AI’s transparency problem. Lesson by Thomas Hofweber, directed by Hannah Lau-Walker.
