Google is soon going to be in the business of telling us when we are going to die. Would have liked to have seen the percentages it gave me when I headed into corner 10 at CoTA off-line at about 120mph. In all seriousness, as morbid as it is, WebMD looks to be in trouble.
The hospital’s computers read her vital signs and estimated a 9.3 percent chance she would die during her stay. Then came Google’s turn. An new type of algorithm created by the company read up on the woman -- 175,639 data points -- and rendered its assessment of her death risk: 19.9 percent. She passed away in a matter of days.
