  • In what's being called a world 1st, a democratic candidate for a Pennsylvania's congressional seat is using an AI Chatbot as a campaign volunteer.  Here are some key facts:
  • Congressional candidate Shamaine Daniels is using an interactive, generative AI chatbot in her campaign race to win PA's 10th district Congressional seat
  • This is a first for any political campaign
  • Called Ashley, the chatbot is fundraising and reaching out to voters
  • The interactive AI provides her disclosure:  "My name is Ashley and I'm an artificial intelligence volunteer for Shamaine Daniels' run for Congress"
  • AI Ashley answers questions about Daniels, who is an attorney and 3-time winner of a Harrisburg City Council seat
  • The AI also answers questions about Daniels' policy positions and that of her opponent US Congressman Scott Perry
  • Ashley was developed by startup Civox, which is operated by the co-founders in London and San Francisco
  • This is a cutting-edge use of generative AI and the start of how it will impact US politics going forward.

  • SpaceX is expected to launch tonight the US Space Force's secretive X-37B robotic space plane in a mission shrouded in mystery.  Here are some key facts:

  • X-37B is a robotic, uncrewed space plane
  • X-37B is known for innovations by advancing reusable space plane technologies
  • Not known how long X-37B will remain in orbit but its flights have been getting longer
  • Most of the mission is classified
  • But we do know about an experiment called Seeds-2 that will expose plant seeds to the harsh radiation environment of long duration space flights
  • Also onboard is a NASA experimental program designed to find ways to sustain astronauts on long duration deep space flights
  • The US military has also disclosed they will be experimenting with new orbits, likely at longer distances from Earth, given the power of the Falcon Heavy rocket being used for launch.
