Researchers have built an AI to try and predict the winners of the World Cup. This is what it said

Every time the World Cup rolls around, there is always a random animal that can mysteriously predict the entire tournament. Previously we've seen the likes of Paul the Octopus, the physic turtle and this year we have'Mystic Marcus' the micro pig. Should we really be trusting an animal with our World Cup betting, though? Surely we should instead put all our faith in the things that now control our lives: technology. Technische Universitat Dortmund, Ghent University and the Technical University of Munich have developed an AI system that has analysed 100,000 simulations for this summer's tournament in Russia.
