Youth voting organization looks to mobilize voters on Discord using AI chat-bot
Youth voting organization NextGen America is launching an effort to connect with potential voters in the gaming community by utilizing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot.
The new voter registration program aims to engage with the prospective electorate by leveraging the chatbot, dubbed “VOTE-E,” on Discord, an increasingly popular social platform that allows communities to organize around interests and interact over text chats and voice.
The bot, which users can add to their server, can interact with others through direct messages, provide voting information and help them to register to vote come election time. The bot will also have the ability to point users to polling sites and provide reminders regarding election dates.
“Galvanizing the next generation of voters means connecting with them where they’re at, and for so many, that’s in online communities,” NextGen America President Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez said in a statement.
