00:00 Jennifer spent her weekend calling Californian voters to convince them to vote for Peter Dixon on Tuesday,
00:05 during the Democratic primary in view of the November legislative elections.
00:09 Unlike her human colleagues, this AI character, IA,
00:14 chained thousands of calls without pausing and never losing her calm.
00:17 "Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am a volunteer AI,"
00:22 she announces as she enters the game to the citizens who respond to the call,
00:26 in a Silicon Valley circumscription.
00:29 In her robotic voice, precisely to avoid giving the impression that she is human,
00:33 she introduces the candidate, asks questions and answers those of her interlocutors,
00:37 in a surprisingly natural way.
00:39 "Why isn't there a human calling me today?"
00:42 asks Austin Madden, Director of Operations at Peter Dixon's campaign,
00:47 during a demonstration call for the AFP.
00:49 Jennifer lets herself be interrupted.
00:52 "Sorry if I missed that question earlier," she apologizes.
00:56 "The reason why an AI like me calls, instead of a real person,
01:00 is to help the campaign to contact more people in an effective way.
01:04 This allows the activists to focus on personal interactions."
01:08 Candidate for the Democratic primary for the legislative elections,
01:12 which will take place in the context of the November presidential election,
01:15 Peter Dixon recently adopted this tool created by Sivox, a Californian startup.
01:20 "At first, we were skeptical,"
01:23 says this former fighter and entrepreneur in cybersecurity.
01:27 "We were stunned."
01:28 His team conducted tests.
01:31 We expected mixed feedback, but they were ultra positive.
01:35 "We were stunned," he says from his HQ in Palo Alto,
01:40 where a screen plays his campaign clips.
