AI might know where you’re going before you do. Researchers at Northeastern University used large language models, the kind of advanced artificial intelligence normally designed to process and generate language, to predict human movement.

How RHYTHM predicts human movement RHYTHM, their innovative tool, “can revolutionize the forecasting of human movements,” forecasting “where you’re going to be in the next 30 minutes or the next 25 hours,” said Ryan Wang, an associate professor and vice chair of research in civil and environmental engineering at Northeastern.

The hope is that RHYTHM will improve domains like transportation and traffic planning to make our lives easier, but in extreme cases, RHYTHM could even be deployed to respond to natural disasters, highway accidents and terrorist attacks.
