Alibaba's AI has successfully predicted the results of a Chinese reality TV show.
The AI correctly predicted which contestants made it into the final of I'm A Singer, an extremely popular Chinese singing contest, and also correctly predicted the winner.
It used data such as chatter on social media, the singer's voice pitch and energy, the live response of the studio audience and choice of song.
A spokesperson from Alibaba commented on the AI's success, saying they were very pleased with the results and adding that: “The results demonstrated that AI is making significant progress to understand human emotions and how people make decisions.”
