NVIDIA & Marlowe: Scaling Data Science Workloads with RAPIDS

You will learn how to use GPU-accelerated tools to conduct data science faster, leading to more scalable, reliable, and cost-effective results!

This research explores both the potential and risks of AI-mediated communication (AI-MC) technologies such as GPT-4—specifically in the political sphere—through a series of experiments designed to assess the possible uses and misuses of AI-MC. The initial part of the research evaluates whether human-AI collaboration can increase legislator responsiveness by studying citizen responses to AI-generated tweets and email correspondence. The findings point to the importance of disclosure, transparency, and human-in-the-loop accountability for AI-mediated political communication. The research then turns to the plausibility of misuse by actors seeking to influence the democratic process. It shares results from a field experiment on legislators, highlights the challenge these technologies present to democratic representation, and suggests techniques elected officials might employ to guard against AI-sourced astroturfing.
