Warning! Politics ahead!
One of the things you should be using AI for all the time is politics.
Not the third-rate drama you see on TV screens, but the substance of politics – legislative pieces, executive orders, and court judgements. Those are the documents that will impact your life in some fashion.
What should you be doing with them? Regardless of party or point of view, you should be asking AI:
- To summarize what the document is and what its key points are
- To summarize the impacts and effects
- To predict second order effects
- To identify how any law, order, or judgement could be weaponized by an unethical government to discriminate against a part of a population, if at all
- To identify how any law, order, or judgement could be weaponized by an unethical government to purge ‘disloyal’ officials, if at all
- To identify loopholes in the law, order, or judgement that could be used by an unethical government official to misuse public resources, if at all
This, by the way, is essentially the prompt you could use, along with providing a role and contextual information for wherever it is you live.
This works best with reasoning models like OpenAI o1, Gemini Flash Thinking, Deepseek Reasoning, and similar models. You’ll note that it’s as apolitical as I can make it, because every government and every official across the political spectrum should be held accountable to the same standard.
This also short circuits the news hype cycle. Instead of listening to pundits with their own agendas, take the document in question with the AI of your choice and a prompt like the one above, and get a firsthand analysis with today’s AI tools. They’re absolutely fantastic at doing this kind of analysis and summarization.
Accountability begins with understanding, and understanding requires time for analysis. AI dramatically shortens that time so that you can see what a law, order, or judgement means and take action on it.
