This week I went to a conference on AI in politics hosted by Higher Ground Labs and others.
Similar to AI in the wider world, the applications today are mostly making existing processes better/faster/cheaper, for example: Analyzing voter feedback, Monitoring news and social media, Designing attractive materials.
This alone could have big impacts. Nearly everything in politics is tightly cost-constrained, so moving the cost curve way down could materially shift who can win elections.
