The Democratic National Committee (DNC) proposed guidelines to campaign committees on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI). The draft agreement requested campaigns to implement measures like checking AI work, avoiding biases, and not creating misleading content. However, the proposal faced opposition from campaign organizations. Concerns included potential limitations on AI deployment and the possibility of alienating donors in the AI industry. The internal divisions reflect the party's uncertainty on how best to use AI amidst rising concerns about disinformation. The DNC remains committed to finding a consensus despite the initial setback.

The use of AI in campaigns has been recognized for its potential to optimize workloads, but there are concerns about its potential for deceiving voters. The lack of regulation has led the DNC to seek guidelines as evidence of their commitment to addressing the threats and promises of AI. Notable Democratic donors in the tech and AI industries raised concerns about potential consequences. The guidelines emphasized the need for human accountability, transparency, and responsible use of AI in campaigns. However, the proposal was not accepted.
