The rise of Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm, and
in our line of work, we are not immune to the changes.

 AI is not something we refer to in the future sense; it is here, and
it is implemented for both good and bad.

Let's start with some good or positive examples of AI: 
We no longer have to spend hours searching the web for a picture or
gif to use for an email or tweet we want to send out. That time saved
allows us to do other things like research, conduct polls, analyze
data, and better craft our persuasion messaging.

Now, on to the dangers of AI in politics, and that list is
substantial:
The most dangerous thing is nefarious characters creating deep fakes
of someone. That can cause significant harm to that person. We have
already witnessed top political figures, including Presidents, fall
victim to this technology. AI has also been used to spread
misinformation alarmingly fast, which can have catastrophic
consequences for society. 

So what do we do? Or better yet, what is being done? 

Congress is reacting but moving slower than we all would like. In the
meantime, we rely on Big Tech to do the right thing... but we aren't
holding our breath. Like Big Pharma, Big Banking, Big Tech, and the
military-industrial complex have always put profits ahead of people
and society. 

One of our rules at No Dem Left Behind: we never share a problem that
is taking place without offering a solution. It may be challenging,
but the technology is here, so we must adapt. 

On our side of the aisle in Washington, we have cyber security
professionals like Representative Spanbanger of Virginia, and
Representative Slotkin of Michigan from a national security
background. When we support folks like this, we can rest assured that
competent, experienced professionals are advocating on our behalf and
writing laws that will protect us and our children.

into Congress because we are just starting. This next AI revolution
will change the world, and it is our job to make sure things change
for the better and not just to enrich the already exorbitantly
wealthy.  Help us by pitching in today.
