Launch of élection.fr, 6 AIs predict the 2027 French presidential election

VRDCI launches élection.fr, a platform that asks six artificial intelligences every two weeks, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Grok (X/Tesla), Gemini (Google), Mistral and DeepSeek, about the likely outcomes of both rounds of the next French presidential election (spring 2027).

No opinion polls are used: only the political news of the last fifteen days feeds the models, at a temperature of 0.2 to maximize determinism. A single prompt is submitted to all six models to ensure comparability of results. Each forecast is dated, archived and compared to its previous versions, so you can see who predicts what, and who changes their mind.
