How Candidates Could Use AI for Good

An opinion essay argues that U.S. political candidates could use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve voter engagement through tools like AI interviewers and deliberation platforms, rather than relying on one-directional campaign messaging. Examples from Japan's Team Mirai party, Scotland's CrownShy, and U.S. civic tech projects demonstrate how AI can facilitate large-scale listening to constituent concerns and synthesize diverse viewpoints. The authors call on candidates to adopt these responsible AI applications to foster more transparent, responsive, and community-driven campaigns.

Why it matters: Campaign operatives and political consultants need to recognize that AI tooling for deeper voter listening and deliberation exists today and may differentiate candidates in upcoming elections, while voters should understand how AI could reshape campaign engagement beyond targeted ads.
