AI Leaders Wary of Chatbots' Ability to Microtarget Voters With Persuasive Political Content

AI chatbots like ChatGPT can create targeted political content like texts and videos, but AI leaders worry this could manipulate voters.

Chatbots won't directly tell you who to vote for, but can craft persuasive messages aimed at different voter demographics.

Microtargeting and misinformation are concerns with using AI for political ads and campaigns.

Major AI companies like OpenAI have policies limiting political use, but chatbots can still generate political content when prompted.

Providing impartial info on candidates is challenging as bots may "hallucinate" or leave out candidates, so some AI leaders recommend avoiding it.
