Summary
Can machines become politicians? The Algorithm Candidate explores one of the most provocative frontiers of democracy: experiments in which artificial intelligence designs platforms, crafts speeches, and runs campaigns.Tailored for students and emerging civic leaders, this book takes readers inside the rise of synthetic parties and algorithm-driven messaging. It highlights both the allure and the dangers of outsourcing political decision-making to code. On one hand, AI promises efficiency, hyper-personalization, and data-driven persuasion. On the other, it risks erasing human accountability, distorting representation, and amplifying bias.With a professional yet accessible voice, the book offers a critical lens on how AI transforms not just campaigning, but the very meaning of political legitimacy. It also proposes a roadmap for ethical innovation—one that preserves democratic choice while embracing technological progress.If you want to understand the future of politics in the age of algorithms, this is your essential guide.
