A new app called Death Clock uses AI to estimate users' death dates based on lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. Developed by Most Days, it analyzes data from over 1,200 studies involving 53 million people. The app aims to encourage healthier habits by providing a stark reminder of mortality. Users receive a personalized "death day" and a farewell card featuring the Grim Reaper after entering their information. While the app has gained popularity, with over 10,000 downloads, experts caution that its predictions may not fully reflect individual health. Concerns also arise about potential societal implications if AI influences decisions in healthcare and employment.
