AI and Politics Can Coexist | The Walrus
Briefly

Dealing with voters directly is the 'ground game' of field organizing, built on contact between campaigns and voters. Candidates, staffers, or volunteers knock on doors (canvassing), give would-be supporters a call (phone banking), or send a text reminding them to donate to a campaign or get out and vote (text banking).
For less prominent but important offices at the local and state or provincial levels, the ground game can be the single most important factor in determining the victor. This reality is reflected in high-profile campaigns too, where investing in ground operations has led to unexpected wins.
AI is already being used in innovative ways to change the ground game ahead of the many US elections happening in 2024. Existing technologies can handle tasks like texting, writing emails, and social media posts, allowing for relentless campaigning without human limitations.
