AI and Experts Clash Over 2024 Election Predictions

An AI polling startup, Aaru, is using chatbots to predict election outcomes, suggesting a narrow victory for Kamala Harris if only bots voted. While traditional polling faces challenges due to low response rates, Aaru's system leverages language models to provide insights into voter decisions, potentially offering a faster and cheaper alternative. The startup's approach doesn't need to outperform traditional polls but aims to match their accuracy while providing additional qualitative data on voter motivations.
