An artificial intelligence has calculated the most viable place in the world
The scientists have defined the criteria for "life value" themselves
The results differ greatly from previous studies

Neither Vienna nor Vancouver nor Helsinki. German scientists from the international data analytics company SAS have chosen an artificial intelligence (AI), which is the most viable place in the world.
Andreas Beck, Business Analytics expert, took the team one step further than previous studies.According to the researchers, the AI did not calculate according to given criteria, but decided what was to be assessed as life-worth. This process is called machine learning.
Finally, the AI has defined 69 criteria from areas such as weather, labor market, security and leisure facilities.
The result of the project "Paradise found" is surprising. The computer has distinguished completely different places than scientists have done in studies before. It is best to live in Australia.
West Perth in Australia takes first placeThe Big Data project is based on five million individual information on 150,000 locations from 193 countries. For this, 1120 data sources were used.
The result: the West Perth region of the Australian west coast metropolis Perth is the most viable place in the world. This is followed by a district in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, New York City in the USA and Sandy Bay in Australia.
A large part played for the calculation information such as the public transport offer, the number of trees, the length of the pedestrian paths and the width of the citizen dough.In addition, the software's scientists gave access to comments from social networks, online travel portals, and published rankings. The AI has then analyzed these data independently by means of an analysis software.
"Crucial for us was the absolute impartiality in the project," the "Wirtschaftswoche" quotes the SAS specialist Becks. "And the idea that the software without influencing prescriptions by us humans often discover completely new evaluation criteria, which perhaps no one had previously recognized or considered important enough."Of course, the researchers do not claim to be valid in their study. "But strictly analytical, West Perth is just the best place in the world," said Beck.
