Many thanks to @stanfordimpact for their generous support of our research on AI voter guides. With new AI guides popping up this cycle, it feels increasingly important to study the potential risks and benefits of using LLMs to translate and personalize voter information.

Check out this super exciting work showing that AI-supported voter guides can be designed to be trustworthy and have a host of pro-democratic outcomes! @jsmernyk.bsky.social @jonnekamphorst.bsky.social @adambonica.bsky.social @robbwiller.bsky.social

Election information often feels overwhelming. What if you could get personalized, nonpartisan info about the candidates and issues on your ballot? We built an AI voter guide to help. Check out our new working paper to learn more!
