The Democratic National Committee was watching earlier this year as campaigns nationwide were experimenting with artificial intelligence. So the organization approached a handful of influential party campaign committees with a request: Sign onto guidelines that would commit them to use the technology in a “responsible” way.

The draft agreement, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, was hardly full of revolutionary ideas. It asked campaigns to check work by AI tools, protect against biases and avoid using AI to create misleading content.

“Our goal is to use this new technology both effectively and ethically, and in a way that advances – rather than undermines – the values that we espouse in our campaigns,” the draft said.

The plan went nowhere.

    I’m not sure LLM model can really “learn” much… they can be tinkered for sure and more/better data fed to them… but at the end of the day, LLM models are just very smart parrots, there is no real “I” in these “AI” models

      I assume government employees are talking about AI in general, not exclusively LLMs, ML, or generative AI. They don’t really know the difference in the subcategories anyway.
