Machine analysis of political communication
Machine analysis of political campaign visuals
In this lesson, we focus on machine analysis of images in political communication. You may have tried uploading a visual of an election poster or a billboard, for example, to a chatbot and have it evaluate the degree to which it is manipulative. Generative AI can be used to this and similar purposes.
