Spoiler Alert: MIT's New AI Can Predict What Will Happen Next in a Video

Do you get squeamish when someone dies on Game of Thrones? Or maybe you're worried your favorite character is about to get killed, and you can't bear to watch. Researchers at MIT have developed an algorithm that can predict what's going to happen next in a video, giving you an opportunity to look away first. The algorithm, developed at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, is slowly trying to learn a skill that humans spend their entire lives refining and perfecting. Through countless interactions and experiences with others, we're able to accurately predict what will happen when two people meet or depart--be it a handshake, a hug, or a kiss.
