Briefings

This briefing examines how US political candidates could leverage AI for positive civic engagement during the 2026 midterm elections. It highlights emerging examples from Japan's Team Mirai and Scotland's CrownShy, which use AI for deep listening and deliberation, contrasting them with current US practices that rely on one-to-many broadcasting. The text notes that US institutions like Stanford's deliberation.io and MIT's Cortico are developing similar tools, alongside a 2025 USDS rebranding. It concludes by urging the separation of AI technology from corporate profiteers, though it explicitly states the article does not provide specific data on US adoption rates, costs, or election outcomes.

Key points

• Team Mirai in Japan has scaled AI interviews to over 300,000 messages, allowing constituents to influence policy platforms and win 12 seats in the Diet.
• CrownShy in Scotland integrates AI with virtual town halls to synthesize diverse viewpoints, offering a model for digital consultations in the US.

Context and limitations

This briefing covers available examples of AI in politics but does not contain data on US adoption rates, specific costs, election outcomes, or the impact of AI on voter anxiety.
