> Is it bias, though, if the AI is trained on the materials of the parties involved, rather than that of public opinion?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "materials". It's quite common in US elections for politicians to make claims that are completely contrary to their actual actions. Even for objective facts, like I voted for X bill when they didn't.

So an AI trained on the campaigns materials wouldn't do an accurate job of portraying what that politician will attempt to do.

Yes, this is why its so useful to use AI to discover these cases, and make the actual details of the politicians lies and subterfuge fully exposed.

For other materials - such as the 1,000-page bills 'o fat and so on - I can also imagine seeing AI give me, very specifically, details of the politician-in-targets' betrayal of an electorate.

This, more than ever, compels an aggressive stance vis a vis AI in politics. Anyone telling you not to do it, for any reason, is probably doing it.

So like everywhere else?

Public tolerance for this will vary. US voters do seem _particularly_ tolerant of outright, obvious lies by politicians.
