There could be something to this. It reminds me of that story where Amazon detected that a teenager was pregnant before she did, and accidentally tipped off her parents by recommending pregnancy-related products to other Amazon users on the same public IP address. But applying AI to problems like this is notoriously difficult, so I wouldn't put any bets on it working well anytime soon.
