Game of Thrones: AI predicts who survives in the final season

The most anticipated series of HBO, ‘Game of Thrones’ final season is just a day ahead. The eighth and the final season will premiere on Sunday. The team who predicted Jon Snow survival in 2016 with the help of artificial intelligence is back with an algorithm for predictions for the coming season.

Students at the Technical University of Munich have created an algorithm to predict which character has the best chance of survive in the final season and who will die in the latest installment.

All the predictions by the AI are being listed on a dedicated website along with the reasons for the predicted likelihood of death of that particular character.

The results shown on the websites suggested that the most likely to survive in the final season is Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Varys, Samwell Tarly, and Jaime Lannister. While the character most likely to die next is Bronn with 93.5 percent likelihood, followed by Gregor Clegane, Sansa Stark, Bran Stark, and Sandor Clegane.

The AI analysed data of over 2,000 characters using information from the two major Wikipedia sites of Game of Thrones. The deciding factors include house, marriage history, gender and character significance.
