With the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup—set to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico—reaching its midway point, the CONMEBOL qualifiers have heated up following the first of two October FIFA matchdays.
In this stage of qualification, certain teams like Argentina and Colombia are sitting comfortably, while others are in strong contention to grab one of the coveted spots. On the flip side, some nations are facing uphill battles, clinging to their slim hopes of qualification.
In this competitive environment, Artificial Intelligence has entered the conversation with a bold prediction. The AI tool “Copilot” was asked which South American nations are likely to qualify based on the current standings—and its response was clear.
