Cortona is already being compared with Paul the Octopus and its predictions during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Cortana so far has a 100% prediction record, something which even the Octopus couldn’t achieve.

Cortana predicted correctly the outcome of all the four Round of 16 matches which have taken place so far. She had called for Brazil, Colombia, Netherlands and Costa Rica to advance to the next round.
