Political campaigns are entering an unfamiliar and uncanny era, and AI may be changing the rules faster than candidates, regulators and voters can keep up. The very important part of politics that once depended heavily on television, polling and broad voter targeting is moving toward something far more personalized.

The report is based on findings from the Harvard Gazette and a recent report by NPR.
