A Hospice AI Predicted the Hour of Death for 4,300 Patients — Families Are Calling It Sacred. Prosecutors Are Calling It a Crime. In February 2024, a palliative care network operating 12 hospice facilities across Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania quietly deployed an AI system called ARIA — Anticipatory Response and Intervention Algorithm. The pitch to administrators was straightforward: reduce costly emergency escalations in end-of-life care by forecasting patient deterioration 24 to 72 hours in advance. The pitch to families was more careful. They were told ARIA helped "coordinate care." No one mentioned that the system was also generating, with 87% documented accuracy, a predicted hour of death. Over 18 months, ARIA processed biometric data, medication records, and behavioral patterns fr...
