ChatGPT puts Ayuso in the race for prime minister: 25% or 40%?
The AI has delivered a forecast that leaves no one indifferent: Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid, would have between a 25% and 40% chance of becoming Spain's first female head of government. The claim, attributed to ChatGPT, has sparked intense debate in political and economic circles, though with a notable degree of skepticism.
The range offered by the OpenAI model is wide enough to be ambiguous, yet high enough not to be dismissed. In a context where traditional polls show growing parliamentary fragmentation, the AI's prediction introduces a variable that many analysts consider premature or excessively optimistic for the Popular Party leader.
Reactions, however, have not been long in coming. Those who downplay Ayuso's chances argue that female voters tend to prefer male candidates, a bias that would reduce her odds. Others point out that the margins of error of algorithmic predictions are still high, especially in volatile political scenarios. Against them, a minority holds that Ayuso's economic management in Madrid and her hard line against independence movements give her a momentum that conventional polls fail to capture.
In any case, the ChatGPT figure invites an uncomfortable reflection: if a machine assigns a 25-40% chance to a political option, should we take it seriously or is it just a reflection of the biases in the data it was trained on? The answer, like the forecast itself, remains in uncertainty.
