A ‘death clock’ with artificial intelligence is in the headlines after claiming to predict when an individual can die. The free website called Death Clock analyzes personal data such as age, body mass index, diet, exercise levels and smoking habits to predict the date of your disappearance, as well as how it will die.
“Our advanced calculator of life expectancy AI* will precisely predict your death date for you depending on where you live, how much smoke and your lifestyle to show your own countdown to the death clock,” says the website.
The clock calculates the exact age that users will live and count on the remaining days, hours, minutes and seconds until the Grim Reaper arrives, which by the way is the logo of the website also.
After entering all the necessary information, the website generates a tombstone with its planned death date. From the last update, the clock driven by AI had predicted the last day of more than 63 million users.
“To predict your death date, you simply enter your date of birth, sex, smoking habits, your BMI and the country in which you live. If you don’t know your BMI, you simply use the BMI calculator form,” says the site web.

The death clock includes a discharge of responsibility that indicates that “it should be used only for fun” because “it is unlikely that this calculator predicts its real death date.”
