A new website that predicts congressional bills' success foresaw the Affordable Care Act replacement bill would be shelved instead of passed – awarding it only a 15 percent chance of being enacted. Users can look up any pending bill on PredictGov or find predictions through its partner, legislation tracker GovTrack, which now includes a "prognosis" line in its overview of each bill. Vanderbilt University law Professor J.B. Ruhl is a co-founder in bill forecasting site PredictGov. PredictGov, which uses big data and artificial intelligence to reach its conclusions, is the invention of Vanderbilt University law Professor J.B. Ruhl; computer scientist and doctoral candidate John Nay, and their team. It pulls from decades of congressional data plus hundreds of variables, including the bill's sponsor, amendments, economic trends and political shifts.

Predicting what the, ahem, disjointed members of Congress are going to do on any given day is even harder. So why not give your noggin a little rest and let artificial intelligence do it for you?

Now you can spend your time only freaking out about, say, the erosion of your privacy thanks to Congress, instead of all the additional garbage that may or may not get signed into law. Pretty neat, huh? (As an added bonus, all that extra cognitive space will come in handy as you prep for the inevitable eco-apocalypse).
