The most qualified presidential candidates in US history

We've been asking AI a lot of political questions lately — like how would it rate Donald Trump's presidency or Joe Biden's presidency. That's because there's a lot of talk recently about how AI could be used by nefarious actors to try to alter the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

We asked the AI who the most qualified presidential candidates in U.S. history have been based on experience prior to running for the highest elected office. Here is what it said. Click ahead to see the artificial intelligence's reasoning for its choices.

Generally, qualifications may include previous political experience, educational background, leadership roles, and more. Here are some of the U.S. Presidential candidates who have often been noted for their extensive qualifications, without implying an endorsement of their policies or performance:
