IN THE BATTLE OF IDEAS , AMMUNITION
However, AI can even make the election process easier.  ,
Local media reported in December that the General Elections Commission (KPU) company in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, intended to use AI to speed up its voting calculating process.
Data processed by the engineering, the department said, will help determine if there are errors and anomalies, even though the formal outcome of the presidential and parliamentary elections did still rely on mechanically counting the ballot on each ballot paper.
Another KPU offices, such as its Jakarta office, have not stated that they will adhere to the Sukoharjo company’s strategy.
More than 204 million Indonesians did cast their ballots on February 14 to choose members of the nation’s national, regional, and city-level governments in addition to electing the next president.
More than 20,000 positions are up for grabs overall, demonstrating the difficulty of what election officials may encounter on the ground when the votes are cast.
More than 300,000 people are vying for seats in the legislature. Not everyone has access to information and files. Entrepreneur Jose Rizal told CNA that even if they did, no everyone would be able to analyze this data and information and create a plan strategy.
One of the reasons Mr. Jose started Pemilu is because of this. AI in April of last year.
In order for congressional candidates to identify issues related to their constituents, develop a plan method, and come up with an elaborate execution plan, the company is using AI to analyze publicly accessible information, such as those from the Central Bureau of Statistics, as well as quantitative data from face-to-face interviews.
” We may also determine what populations the applicant should be targeting with the aid of Artificial.” According to Mr. Jose, AI may even come up with strategies to draw these target groups in from activities they may find fascinating, all the way to battle slogans and social media posts.
So far around 700 parliamentary candidates are using Pemilu.AI’s services, the firm’s founder said, spending IDR29 million (US$1,838) for every city and regency level candidates, IDR 99 million for provincial level MP hopefuls and IDR 149 million for national level parliamentary candidates.
Artificial technology still has its shortcomings, despite the fact that the price is a small portion of what applicants may pay if they sought the advice of an experienced political consultant.
Can AI actually take the place of a consultant? Obviously no. People have knowledge and intuition. AI can conceptualize a plan, but how it is carried out also depends on the prospects, how they are able to communicate their ideas, and how well they interact with their constituents, according to Mr. Jose.
