Japan's latest elections demonstrate technology's ability to strengthen democracy, argue Nathan Sanders and Bruce Schneier in Tech Policy Press. Team Mirai, a Japanese political party founded by software engineers which recently won 11 seats in the country's House of Representatives, uses AI to engage voters. "[Team Mirai founder Takahiro] Anno’s party stood for election without aligning itself on the traditional axes of left and right. Instead, Team Mirai, heavily associated with young, urban voters, sought to unite across the ideological spectrum by taking a radical position on a different axis: the status quo and the future."
