Everyone's talking about AI in campaigns, but itโs hard to measure.
Thatโs why Amanda Elliott, @kylewilsontharp.bsky.social, @ericwilson.bsky.social and myself are running a survey on how political pros are using AI.

There's a major gap in content safety tooling: classifiers typically only score complete text. When you're working with generative AI, "complete text" means the user already saw it. That's too late.
