Scientists Build AI That Predicts Exactly When Your Parents Will Call; 94% Accurate

A research team from IISc Bengaluru has developed an artificial intelligence model that predicts with 94% accuracy the exact moment a user's parents will call them. The model, trained on call logs, calendar data, and what the team describes as 'a frustratingly consistent pattern in human parental behaviour,' has two primary prediction outputs: 'during an important meeting' and 'while eating.' In 94% of test cases, one of these two outputs was correct. The remaining 6% were classified under the sub-category 'immediately after you just texted them saying you would call later.' The research paper, published in Nature Human Behaviour, concludes that parental call timing 'is not random and may be structurally adversarial.' The team has been unable to secure funding for a follow-up study titled 'Why.'
