Before we start tell me,

AI 🤝 Elections

AI in elections refers to the use of advanced computer systems and algorithms to influence, manage, or enhance various aspects of the electoral process.

This can include:

1. Voter outreach and engagement

2. Campaign strategy and targeting

3. Data analysis and prediction

4. Election administration and security

5. Information dissemination and media creation

What’s going to happen? Are voters going to be misled?

Let’s talk this in-depth!

The YAY and the NAY of AI x Elections

As we look at how AI is shaping elections globally, it's crucial to consider both its potential benefits and risks.

Real-World Examples

• United States: AI-generated robocalls mimicking President Biden's voice were used to discourage voting in New Hampshire (Read here).

• Slovakia: Deepfakes were deployed to defame a political party leader, potentially influencing election outcomes (Read here).

• Indonesia: A presidential candidate used an AI-generated cartoon version of himself to appeal to younger voters (Read Here).

• India: Deepfakes of deceased politicians endorsing candidates have emerged as a campaign tactic (Read Here).

These examples highlight the diverse ways AI is being utilized in elections worldwide, from malicious interference to crazy campaign strategies.

As AI continues to evolve, its role in elections will likely expand.

This presents both opportunities for more efficient, engaging electoral processes and challenges in maintaining the integrity of democratic systems.

We’re firmly in the ‘AI’s here to stay’ boat, so why not make the most of it

The World's Watching

There's this cool nonprofit called Rest of World (great name, by the way) that's like, "Hold up, we need to keep track of this craziness." They're documenting all the wild AI shenanigans happening in elections across the globe.

Ykw, you can also submit examples and get them featured.

Why Should We Care?

Good question! This whole AI-in-elections thing is like watching democracy and tech have a complicated relationship status on Facebook. It's highlighting some pretty important stuff:

• We all need to level up our BS detectors (aka digital literacy)

• Fact-checkers are the unsung heroes we need right now

• Politicians and tech companies need to figure out some ground rules, and fast

So, grab your popcorn (or maybe your voter registration card) and stay tuned.

What would an AI controlled government look like?

A reddit user asked GPT about what the future will look like in 10 years under Trump and shared it on Reddit.

Below is the response from GPT.

The comment section went brrrr.

While some said, 'GPT-4 for President,' others replied, 'Decades of science-fiction movies have taught me to never trust AI to run the government.'

While someone who is really tired of politicians said..

While all of this is fun to read, you never know—AI might just be president someday.
