A computer analysis powered by artificial intelligence declared President Trump the winner of the final presidential debate on Thursday.
The analysis, performed by communication coaching software VoiceVibes, gave Trump a victory on 5 out of the 7 topics based on vocal delivery and how “polished” the participants sounded, according to the Washington Times.
Trump reportedly outscored Biden on the topics of climate change, race relations in America, national security, leadership, and healthcare.
The methodology tracks what the company calls “graded performances on a scale of 0-10 (10 being best) based on dimensions of vocal delivery (meaning how professional and polished they sound, as following known best practices for speakers) and also predicts how a typical audience would perceive the speakers by using AI models that were trained on millions of data points on human perception of voice.”
“Keep in mind that our software does not attempt to evaluate the content or merit of their statements or politics, rather the persuasiveness of their tone and vocal delivery,” VoiceVibe CEO Debra Cancro said.
Human polls were not as conclusive, with Trump and Biden each being named the winner in different polls conducted online and reviews from pollsters.
GOP pollster Frank Luntz said he believes President Trump won the debate, while a CNN poll concluded that Biden was the winner.
