MogIA Accurately Predicts Election

In light of current events in the United States, I thought that I would take this week to write about what is on everybody's minds-- the Election. I don't want to get political in what is a very sensitive time so I am going to try and be as unbiased as possible throughout this post.

Leading up to the election Hillary Clinton seemed poised to win the Presidency according to many polls and news sources. However, to the surprise of many, Donald Trump was able to win several key swing states in order to become the next President of the United States. Who could have ever predicted this? Apparently an AI system called MogIA.

Business Insider posted an article leading up to the election about MogIA and how it has successfully predicted the the last three Presidential elections as well as both of this year's primaries. How is this possible you may ask? MogIA uses data from sources such as Google, YouTube, and Twitter to analyze how well a candidate is doing. It then updates itself over time in order time by learning from the online environment.

While MogIA is definitely not perfect it has yet to be wrong when predicting presidential elections. MogIA is an example of yet another incredible algorithm that can analyze an event and both unbiasedly and accurately predict outcomes better than humans.
