Evidence-Based Commentary
on Federal Election Commission Rulemaking.
In: Undergraduate research collaborative.
Abstract
A University of Pittsburgh undergraduate student research collaborative generated evidence-based commentary on the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) rulemaking process. The U.S. FEC had called for public comments on a petition by Public Citizen concerning deliberately deceptive AI campaign advertisements. This report contains individual student responses developed as part of an assignment in the "Evidence" course at the university. The assignment delved into the intricacies of deepfake AI in political campaign advertising. A unique approach was employed using the Instructional AI platform Packback and the OpenAI tool ChatGPT-4, to facilitate discussions and distill student responses. An "adjacent curriculum" option invited students to voluntarily write public comments in lieu of a midterm examination. Some finalized student comments were eventually submitted to the FEC for official consideration and compiled into a report archived in D-Scholarship, the University of Pittsburgh's digital repository.
