The 2025 AAPOR Conference, “Reshaping Democracy’s Oracle,” will discuss the promises and perils that artificial intelligence (AI) and our information technology landscape have in changing political polling and survey research. Central to this theme is the role of new technologies in understanding voter behavior and an exploration of political polls given 2024 election outcomes around the world. Through short courses and the conference program, we will also examine the use of large language models, natural language processing, and machine learning algorithms to enhance and disrupt the ways we measure public opinion. Additionally, we will discuss ethical considerations, biases, and the importance of standards and transparency in an age of increasingly AI-driven insights and a potential “general purpose technology” (GPT) paradigm-shift.
