This artificial intelligence platform’s picks could win you so much money at the Kentucky Derby – For The Win

You can pick your Kentucky Derby horses based on names or jockey uniform colors, but you might want to listen to this for some betting advice.

Last year, a startup called Unanimous A.I.used a platform to predict the exact top four finishers the superfecta at the 2016 Derby. And this year, Unanimous A.I.s UNU platform has made its picks.

First, heres how it works, via Newsweek:

UNU uses a unique form of artificial intelligence called swarm intelligence that aims to amplify rather than replace human intelligence.

It works like this: a group of people login to an UNU online forum through their smartphones or computers. At the start of each session, all participants are simultaneously presented with a question and a set of possible answers.

Each participant has control of a graphical magnet that they can move around the screen to drag a puck to the answer they think is correct. The puck can only fall on one answer, and the group has 60 seconds to collectively agree on a decision that best suits them all.

The result for this year, from some thoroughbred experts using the system?

1. Classic Empire

2. McCraken

3. Irish War Cry

4. Always Dreaming

A $20 bet on last years A.I. picks would have won you $10,842, so you might want to listen to them again.
