Atiku campaign has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows voters to ask Atiku preselected questions.
The technology which is a bot of Atiku addresses voters in Atiku’s voice and then asks them to ask any question that is already preselected.
A series of questions is then flashed and the voter ticks a particular question to which the virtual Atiku answers as if he is fielding the questions directly from the voter.
When we tested the technology, the virtual Atiku answers the questions as he would if one on one with you.
Atiku tweeted about the technology on Tuesday and thanked his team for developing it to allow him to take direct questions from members of the public who seek to know more about his campaign and candidacy.
“Thanks to the young Nigerians on my team who developed this Artificial Intelligence concept, you have a chance to ask me a range of questions and hear my answers, click the link below. #AskAtikuYourself,” he tweeted on Tuesday.
An #AskAtikuYourselve hashtag was used to direct the questions to the former Vice President.
Atiku has been deploying technology, especially social media in his campaigns.
TheNiche analysis of presidential candidates’ social media presence shows that Atiku is poles ahead of the four candidates polled in the report which included President Muhammadu Buhari.
