Mark Cuban has said AI will become the most powerful weapon in political campaigning \u2014 and he says Democrats are falling behind.<\/p>\n In a series of BlueSky posts on Sunday, the billionaire investor and “Shark Tank” star<\/a> said that Republicans are outpacing Democrats in leveraging digital platforms and emerging tech.<\/p>\n “The winners of the midterms are already working on how to integrate ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. into their campaigns,” Cuban wrote. “Millions of voters will simply ask, ‘Who should I vote for this election.'”<\/p>\n In the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump said AI rewrote one of his speeches in 15 seconds. He also circulated AI-generated posts of cultural figures, including fake images showing Taylor Swift and her fans<\/a> appearing to support him.<\/p>\n Cuban shared a Substack article by a researcher at the University of Maryland’s Applied Research Lab for Intelligence and Security, Caroline Orr Bueno, who argued that Trump’s allies take advantage of algorithms by producing content that stokes outrage and dominates people’s social-media feeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump’s world,” Cuban wrote. “They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.”<\/p>\n The Democratic National Committee didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.<\/p>\n
