An AI polling startup makes its predictions for tomorrow’s races | Semafor

We asked Aaru, a company founded by three teens, to ask their thousands of AI chatbots how they would vote in key races. Here’s what they said.

We wrote about the two 19-year-old college dropouts, Cam Fink and Ned Koh, and Aaru, the company they co-founded with 15-year-old John Kessler, two months ago. They use census and other demographic data to create thousands of AI avatars of voters, each with hundreds of personality traits to model the humans they’re supposed to mimic. The bots (“agents”) are fed with a diet of news and information those people might consume, and then asked about their preferences — in this case, who they would vote for. Fink and Koh say the tests they’ve run show their system is incredibly accurate — and much cheaper and faster to run than traditional polling.

Well, we know the results now. Maybe not every vote is counted yet but they've called it and he has given his victory speech.

If only bots vote, this will be one close election — and a narrow Kamala Harris victory.

It was very close for a while, the AI was right about that, just a different final outcome.

15 year old kids developing something like that is very impressive to me! When I was that age, we were still learning what algebra was.

Anyway, kudos to those teens.

Well, we know the results now.

Well, there will be some repositioning to do here.

The American voter, on a whole, is very simple minded.
First they vote with their Wallet of shopping list.
Wait until they see what the promised tariffs will do.

What's additionally scary is the fact that half the citizens actually support these two (et al). It speaks volumes to me.
