What is Next Voters?
Next Voters builds programs and products that help the youth use AI in a meaningful way to propel their political leadership and ambition. We aim to create a society of critical thinkers, so democracy can remain effective.
Problem
With the advent of AI, the youth have started to offload their thoughts by depending on chatbots to complete their work. This leads to a society incapable of unique thoughts that solve nuanced political issues.
Solution
Our solution is not to ban the use of AI, but it is to use it in a healthier manner. Through the Next Voters Fellowship and Next Mind Incubator, we will shift the perspective on AI from something that “thinks” to an information finder. This will help streamline fellows’ research on topics, while giving them the opportunity to critically engage with their findings.
