AI in Campaigning & Organizing Summit, contribute to HGL’s AI Landscape Report, and more 2024 opportunities.

Happy New Year! The 2024 election is now officially around the corner. There is much at stake and our democracy is on the ballot yet again. Each cycle, technology has revolutionized our political landscape — and this year will be no different, especially with the explosion of generative AI. Now is the time for us to hit the gas on progressive AI and tech innovation and adoption. Early investments in infrastructure are key in pushing us toward Democratic victories.

We wrapped 2023 by awarding 14 incubation grants ([link removed]) from our Progressive AI Lab, the hub for progressive and democratic AI innovation. To build a deeper understanding of this technology and highlight its latest developments in 2024, we are co-hosting the AI in Campaigning and Organizing Summit ([link removed]) in Washington, DC on January 30th with Cooperative Impact Lab and Zinc Labs. We invite you to join us and invite your colleagues.

HGL is also creating an AI-focused Landscape Report, set for release in the spring of 2024. We want to hear from you, how you are using AI, and what AI tools you are building. Let us know through our AI Landscape Report community submissions ([link removed]) (more below). Thank you for your critical year-round work building progressive power.
