AI for the People: Shaping the 2024 Presidential Election
Use AI-generated propaganda to influence the military and defense sector and build alternative governance systems
Updated July 6, 2023
CAMPAIGN IDEA
“AI for the People: Shaping the 2024 Presidential Election” is an ambitious campaign that uses AI to generate propaganda targeting the US military and defense sector. Our objective: to influence the upcoming 2024 presidential election and promote the idea of alternative governance systems.
CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION
Our campaign will use sophisticated AI algorithms to create propaganda materials, including deepfake videos, targeted advertisements, intelligent viral memes, and more. These materials will be distributed across social media platforms and strategically aimed at members of the military and defense sector. We see this demographic as influential in shaping national governance and crucial for the success of our campaign.
We’re not just about influencing an election. We’re about kickstarting a serious conversation about alternative governance systems. Our materials will encourage individuals to consider alternative political ideologies and the prospect of a more decentralized, equitable government.
THEORY FOR WHY THIS CAMPAIGN WILL CREATE CHANGE
This campaign plays on the growing influence of AI and the potential it has to reshape public opinion. With our targeted approach, we aim to convert a significant populace within the military and defense sector, fostering an environment conducive to the exploration of alternative governance systems.
We believe that by focusing on the military and defense sector—an often-overlooked demographic—we can generate a ripple effect of influence. This demographic’s potential to bring about change is underutilized, and we aim to change that, pushing for a broad reconsideration of our current governance model.

FLASH FICTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE FOUNDER DESCRIBING THE CAMPAIGN’S ORIGIN
Our journey started in a small garage, a makeshift laboratory where dreams metamorphosed into realities. The first steps were tentative, a blend of fear and anticipation. But I knew we were on to something.
We tinkered with algorithms, simulated countless scenarios, and spent sleepless nights adjusting codes. We were captivated by the power of AI, its boundless possibilities. And we saw how we could harness this power for change.
The idea of targeting the military and defense sector was unexpected. It emerged from our understanding of how influence works, how it ripples through society. The military was our untapped gold mine, and we knew that’s where we had to focus.
Our campaign—AI for the People—was born from these nights of tireless work. It was a dream, a vision of a more equitable future, where alternative voices are heard, where governance is not a top-down structure, but a distributed network.
AI for the People is not just a campaign—it’s a revolution. Built from scratch, fueled by relentless passion, and driven by the desire to see change. Now, we are ready to make our mark on the world.
HOW WILL OPPONENTS TO THIS CAMPAIGN TRY TO STOP IT
Opponents will probably leverage concerns about the ethical use of AI, questioning the authenticity of our materials and accusing us of spreading misinformation. They might use this to discredit our campaign and discourage people from questioning the status quo.
HOW SHOULD ACTIVISTS RESPOND TO OPPONENT’S ATTEMPTS TO STOP IT
Activists should continue to push the narrative of exploration, emphasizing that our objective is not to spread false information, but to provoke thought and discourse. They should persistently engage with our audience, reassuring them about the authenticity of our cause.
