Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' famous lines are a passionate plea to fight against the inevitability of death. While the sentiment is poetic, the reality is far more prosaic. We are all going to die someday at a time and place that will likely remain a mystery to us until the very end. Researchers are now applying artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning and computer vision, to predict when someone may die.
