'Why do we need elections?' WEF chairman Schwab declares voting will not be necessary because AI will predict the results
[Blaze] World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab envisioned a future without elections, predicting that voting will no longer be needed as artificial intelligence will be able to predict who voters would want in power.

Schwab spoke to Google co-founder Sergey Brin on stage at the WEF gathering and discussed the predicting powers of AI technology.

"Digital technologies mainly have an analytical power; now we go into a predictive power, and we have seen the first examples, and your company very much evolved into it," he told the Google founder. "The next step could be to go into a prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections any more because you can already predict."

Next, with the audience eerily silent, Schwab then asked if elections would even be necessary given that the outcomes would already be predicted.

#1 The 2020 Beta Testing in Georgia certainly supports Schwab's theory.

#3 I see what you did there, Gromble Dribble4342.

I suppose predicting elections is slightly less complex than predicting future climate...

What was really said.
The WEF will program A.I. to say what they want and you will obey.

#12 My experience with Chat Gpt and Google Bard is that, in their current state, they are either being throttled, or they really are limited.

Google Bard and Chat Gpt AIs also has a severe problem with what I call looping: The ability to loop through related informational items in sequence, writing/synthesizing conclusions from each and finally writing a singular conclusion which incorporates all the items.

#13 Sounds like somebody is assuming AI's pronouns.

Glen, stay away from the TV show.
