New generations of AI will find a plethora of uses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/microsoft-targeted-by-hacking-group-backed-by-chinese-government\/\" title=\"Microsoft Targeted By Hacking Group Backed By Chinese Government\">political campaigns<\/a>. ChatGPT has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-justice-department-pick-opposed-enforcing-civil-rights-laws-against-blacks\/\" title=\"Biden Justice Department Pick Opposed Enforcing Civil Rights Laws Against Blacks\">made waves<\/a> as the first broadly accessible AI that gives users a feeling of flowing, natural conversation. It\u2019s been praised for its robust capability to produce prose and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-director-wray-compares-ransomware-challenge-to-9-11-attacks\/\" title=\"FBI Director Wray Compares Ransomware Challenge to 9\/11 Attacks\">computer code<\/a>. Numerous other AI tools have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trumps-executive-order-on-foreign-interference-in-elections-comes-due-today-things-are-going-to-get-real-real-soon\/\" title=\"President Trump\u2019s Executive Order On Foreign Interference in Elections Comes Due Today \u2013 Things Are Going to Get Real \u2013 Real Soon\">recently hit<\/a> the market, offering voice, image, and video generation.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns About AI in Elections<\/h3>\n<p>The breakneck pace of the industry\u2019s progress has sparked concerns about how the technology could affect the democratic process, especially elections. Deepfakes and bots are the most often cited examples of how AI could affect elections. An AI can now manipulate images, voice, and video in a way that passes as convincing. Social media could be inundated with bots that appear to have real profile images and post comments that seem natural.<\/p>\n<h3>Experts Weigh In<\/h3>\n<p>The experts said the impact doesn\u2019t appear to be groundbreaking just yet. The key will be for campaigns to develop \u201ca rapid response\u201d to quickly debunk the fakes. However, having the debunk achieve the same level of virality as the fake may be challenging. Teachers and professors have already been forced to use such tools to detect AI-generated essays their students try to pass as their own.<\/p>\n<h3>Voter Manipulation<\/h3>\n<p>Another concern about AI is that it may be capable of manipulating the electorate. After absorbing vast amounts of personal data from social media, an AI could theoretically pinpoint a voter\u2019s psychological pressure points and use them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-how-artificial-intelligence-could-impact-the-2024-election\/\" title=\"AI's Impact on the 2024 Election: An Analysis\">produce extremely personalized political ads<\/a> to manipulate him. The experts, however, were skeptical about such a capability.<\/p>\n<h3>Hyperpersonalization<\/h3>\n<p>AI could dramatically change the game by producing personalized persuasion campaigns for individual voters at scale. But there are major roadblocks to that. One major problem is that it would take immense manpower to humanly manage thousands or even millions of such individualized campaigns. Campaign operatives are unlikely to risk truly leaving the work up to the AI.<\/p>\n<h3>The Future of AI in Politics<\/h3>\n<p>Both experts were sure to add the caveat that they\u2019re only talking about the technology as is. \u201cThis is a current generation, right?\u201d Delany said. \u201cFive years from now. All bets are off. Who knows what\u2019s going to happen?\u201d Makembe made the timeframe even shorter. \u201cWhat\u2019s true today is not going to be necessarily by the end of the cycle next year,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s up to us to kind of keep track of.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, AI is changing political campaigns in ways we never thought possible. While there are concerns about the technology&#8217;s impact on the democratic process, experts believe that the current generation of AI is not a magic bullet. As the industry grows and AI becomes more embedded in what we do, there will be tools and counter tools to ensure that people are protected and not being lied to. It&#8217;s up to us to keep track of the technology&#8217;s progress and ensure that ethical guidelines are in place to protect voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News analysis New generations of artificial intelligence (AI), such as the AI powering the ChatGPT chatbot, will find a plethora of uses in political campaigns. \u201cChatGPT is going to save a lot of time for people, especially with repetitive tasks.
