At the ADEPT School of Young Political Leaders, AI expert Denis Zacon presented the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on politics.

“AI does not replace political vision — it amplifies it,” Zacon emphasized, highlighting how technology gives leaders more time for authenticity and strategic decision-making.

The data presented was striking: globally, 78% of campaigns in 2024 relied on AI, while campaign teams reported an 80% reduction in the time needed to analyze electoral data. “Speeches are drafted three times faster, and messages are 55% clearer,” noted Zacon, underlining the tangible advantages for political leaders.

The benefits extend to electoral campaigns and legislative analysis: content creation is 60% faster, targeted messages reach 40% more voters, and complex laws can be analyzed in hours instead of days. “AI provides political leaders with a crucial competitive edge, but the key remains ethical use,” Zacon stressed.
