Harnessing AI technologies to catalyze democratic change
Updated July 6, 2023
CAMPAIGN IDEA
Leverage large language models to create an AI-powered platform that enables NGOs to engage with voters, providing neutral and fact-based information on candidates and their platforms ahead of the 2024 US Presidential Election.
CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION
“Geared For Change” is an innovative campaign that aims to utilize the power of AI to foster more informed electoral decision-making. By developing a platform backed by Large Language Model AI, our campaign will enable NGOs to share unbiased and factual data on the presidential candidates, effectively influencing the election’s outcome. This technological approach allows us to cut through the noise and partisanship often found in the election landscape, ensuring citizens are informed and empowered in their electoral decisions.
Through this platform, NGOs will be able to provide interactive sessions, real-time news updates, and comprehensive comparison of candidates' policies and histories. NGOs can embrace this AI-led model to resonate with a broader audience, providing them with the necessary information to cast an informed vote in the 2024 US Presidential Election.
THEORY FOR WHY THIS CAMPAIGN WILL CREATE CHANGE
By leveraging the capabilities of AI, we provide NGOs with the ability to disseminate reliable and neutral election information. As NGOs are typically trusted institutions, combining their reach with the efficiency of AI can significantly influence citizens' voting decisions. By ensuring that voters have fact-based knowledge of candidates, we can encourage more informed voting, which can ultimately impact the election outcome.
When citizens have access to trustworthy and comprehensive information about their candidates, it fosters higher levels of political engagement and more discerning electoral decisions. By providing a conduit for this information and promoting educational dialogue, we aim to drive a substantial change in the U.S. political landscape.

FLASH FICTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE FOUNDER DESCRIBING THE CAMPAIGN’S ORIGIN
The genesis of ‘Geared For Change’ finds its roots in the wake of the 2020 United States Presidential election. As the nation witnessed unprecedented levels of disinformation and political division, I was left profoundly stirred. I realized an urgent need for a trusted, neutral platform to disseminate information about our candidates and their platforms.
It was during one restless night, while mulling over the information chaos that had clouded the election, that the concept sparked. As a technologist, I realized that we could leverage AI’s power to ensure unbiased and factual election information dissemination. After months of tirelessly working and refining the concept, ‘Geared For Change’ was born.
Our vision is clear - an informed electorate can make the difference in how democracy functions. By providing NGOs with an AI-powered platform, we are not just ensuring neutral information flow, but also enabling them to connect with a broader audience than ever before.
Fueled by the belief that technology can indeed foster democratic change, we designed ‘Geared For Change.’ This campaign is more than just an initiative; it’s a beacon of transparency, a tool for voter education, and a step towards critical thinking.
Change will not happen overnight, and ‘Geared For Change’ is our commitment to fostering that change. It is a campaign fuelled by hope, a hope that resided within a sleepless night, crystallized in the power of technology, and aims to reshape the future of democracy.
HOW WILL OPPONENTS TO THIS CAMPAIGN TRY TO STOP IT
Opponents, particularly those who benefit from disinformation or partisan narratives, may resist the platform. They could question the neutrality of AI, alleging that it can be manipulated, or even spread disinformation about the platform itself.
HOW SHOULD ACTIVISTS RESPOND TO OPPONENT’S ATTEMPTS TO STOP IT
Activists should focus on the campaign’s credibility and the technological soundness of AI, ensuring users that safeguards are in place against bias or manipulation. They must consistently demonstrate the campaign’s commitment to providing unbiased information and promoting democratic engagement.
