The Vice President and presidential candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, renowned for his enthusiasm for technology and innovation, has chosen to integrate cutting-edge technology into his campaign for the presidency.
In a groundbreaking initiative for Africa and among a select few globally, the NPP’s presidential candidate has launched an AI chatbot designed to facilitate communication with voters on a national level.
The Bawumia Campaign has publicly unveiled this innovation, stating that it allows voters to interact with Dr. Bawumia, pose questions regarding his vision for the nation, and receive direct responses.
To engage with Dr. Bawumia through the AI chatbot, voters can access www.bawumiagpt.com in their web browser, providing them with an opportunity to connect with him and discover his plans for the country.
The application of AI as a constructive campaign instrument is uncommon on a global scale, as the technology has frequently been misused to undermine and malign political adversaries.
Only a handful of politicians worldwide have embraced AI as a beneficial campaign tool, and even then, it has been utilized in very limited ways.
Notable examples include U.S. Democratic Congressional candidate Shamaine Daniels and Pakistan’s Imran Khan, who employed it once for a virtual rally.
Dr. Bawumia’s extensive and personalized implementation of the AI chatbot as a central element of his campaign represents a unique approach on a global scale and is undoubtedly the first of its kind in Africa.
