Using an AI named Polly to predict human behaviour

Conceived in 2012, Polly is ASI's artificial intelligence that predicts human behaviour in many different instances. "Polly is artificial intelligence and what she does is, in this case, goes out to all the ridings in Ontario and creates representative samples of each of those ridings so that she can accurately gauge the sentiment of that population and figure out who is likely to win the election," said CEO of Advanced Symbolics, Erin Kelly, about their AI -- named Polly -- that's currently being used to predict who is most likely to win the Ontario election. Polly has also been working and analyzing over the course of the year, determining how people's minds -- and votes -- change when certain things happen. This technology, as Kelly said in this interview with Steve Paikin of The Agenda, is pulling from a much larger sample size (ridings and the popular vote) than a typical poll.
