This election year, there is a new potential factor that may have some voters on edge: artificial intelligence. The founder of Bay Area-based nonprofit AIandYou chats with NBC Bay Area about the issue.

As AI continues to evolve, political campaigns have started using the technology to spread information to the public and engage voters. AI-powered technologies can generate text messages, images, videos, and speech patterns to create campaign messaging and advertisements. The software is also used to generate campaign emails, posing potential benefits and risks for its use in political ads. Lawmakers at the federal and state levels have called for regulations around the new technology. In Wisconsin, the legislature passed a bill requiring agencies to include a disclosure for any video or audio communication purchased for a political ad with AI-generated content. Governor Tony Evers signed the proposal into law on Thursday.

The 2024 U.S. presidential election may look a lot like the 2020 vote, with the two major party nominations likely going to the same men, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. One big difference will be the use of artificial intelligence, which is playing a growing role in American politics.

With a focus on AI's benefits, risks, and potential for societal impact, Gonzales emphasizes the importance of diverse voices in AI development and policy to prevent bias and ensure that AI’s potential benefits are actually equitable.
