This year, instead of only cramming with voter guides and campaign mailers, I tried something newâI enlisted AI as my research assistant. This video walks you through my journey of using AI to decode ballot measures, compare candidate positions, and uncover the hidden stories behind my choices. The goal? To make better-informed decisions without letting the machines decide for me. From discovering surprising local histories to diving deep into the implications of policy proposals, this experiment redefines how technology can support democracy.
