The Political Ascendancy of AI
Artificial intelligence has recently emerged as a significant political issue, evidenced by its mention in mainstream political debates for the first time during the 2020 presidential election. The heightened awareness surrounding AI can be traced back to the rapid development of generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, and their integration into everyday software, making AI a part of daily life for many people.
