AI That Clinched The Trifecta Gave The Super Bowl To Green Bay--In August

The Green Bay Packers celebrate after Mason Crosby #2 kicked a last-second field goal to defeat the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at AT&T Stadium on January 15, 2017 in Arlington, Texas. It's fair to say that traditional polling has recently had its problems with accurate forecasts, and no wonder: simply reaching lots of people to get their predictions, let alone managing that data, has never been easy. Being called a human-computer hybrid or "'artificial' artificial intelligence," UNU is a digital'hive-mind' on a hot streak for the books, which has both investors and gamblers looking on. Based on input from user "swarms," the beta-stage interactive platform has correctly predicted some of the last year's most surprising and complicated outcomes, including Sunday's last-minute "instant classic" win for the Packers, who UNU favored for the Lombardi Trophy in August, ESPN reports. The platform was launched last June by Unanimous AI, an experientially well-heeled California start-up, and harnesses users' opinions (if not their advertising eyeballs) like other topical sites: by making it social.
