Could THIS new artificial intelligence technology predict when your relationship will end?

Artificial technology could be used to gauge a relationship and when couples will break up.

According to scientific journal PLOS One, scientists have created the system that analyses voice recordings and how couples talk to each other.

Elements such as pitch and intonation all could reveal much more than people may realise.

Using this, it can determine how much longer a relationship will last.

Researchers at the University of Southern California used 134 couples with problematic relationships talking in therapy. 

By analysing the voiced tones and pitches, they created an algorithm that analyses who was speaking and how they were speaking.

It then predicted when the relationship would end, measured against what experts thought.

Amazingly, the AI machine beat the experts with a success rate of 79.3 per cent, against experts 75.6 per cent.

The machine, crucially, didn’t analyse what was being said, and just measured the way people spoke to each other.

It can be an interesting way for couples to realise how they speak to each other during bad relationships or relationships break down.

However, it isn’t the only way to test how long a relationship will last.

The age difference in a relationship has also been analysed to determine when couples are most likely to break up.

Shockingly, relationships with a 20 year age difference are 95 per cent likely to break up.

The study from Emory University in Atlanta found that the best age gap is just a year, with a tiny three per cent chance of breaking up.

A ten-year gap is 39 per cent likely to end, whilst five years is just 18 per cent.

Mialon commented on the study: “It could just be that the types of couples with those characteristics are the types of couples who are, on average, more likely to divorce for other reasons.”
