You and your partner, James, have been in a strong, loving relationship for years, and now, you’re considering getting engaged. James is excited about the idea, but you can’t stop thinking about the statistics.

You know that many marriages end in divorce, often not a peaceful process. Research suggests that 10% of couples in their first marriage get divorced within the first five years. The thought of your marriage not even last five years raises questions about whether tying the knot would be a mistake.

Fortunately, you live in an era of Artificial Intelligence, where a brand-new company has released an AI-based model that can predict the possibility of divorce. This model is trained on various data sets including an individual’s social media activity, online behaviors, search histories, spending habits, and history of marriage and divorce.

Using this data, the AI claims to predict with almost 95% accuracy whether a couple will divorce or not within the first five years of marriage.

However, the model doesn’t offer any reasons for its predictions — it simply provides a Yes or No answer without explaining why.

So, should you rely on this AI’s prediction to decide whether or not to get married??
