自由開講》從說服選民到影響AI:選戰傳播的新戰場

台北市長電視辯論首次大規模運用AI於即時事實查核與逐字稿分析,對選戰傳播與KOL影響力帶來新衝擊

Quick Look

台北市長電視辯論首次大規模應用AI進行即時事實查核與逐字稿分析,縮短資訊查證時間。此舉不僅改變傳統選戰攻防,亦可能污染AI資訊來源並削弱政黨色彩鮮明的KOL影響力。

Why It Matters

台北市長選舉電視辯論首次大規模導入AI技術進行即時事實查核與逐字稿分析。

這次台北市長電視辯論,是台灣首次大規模將AI運用於即時事實查核及候選人發言逐字稿分析。AI的影響力,也可以作為觀察此次選舉的重要指標。

過去的選戰,是考驗誰能說服選民;現在的選戰,還包括誰能影響AI如何回答選民。

請繼續往下閱讀

台北市長選舉首場電視辯論會,同場對決的蔣萬安、沈伯洋也在個人YouTube頻道轉發直播。(資料照,取自「沈伯洋Puma」YT頻道)但有個關鍵前提,AI進行事實查核時,往往優先引用政府機關的公開資訊,作為事實論斷依據;也就是說,如果你問AI台北市政問題,台北市政府網站資訊就很關鍵。

選戰新戰場 污染AI資訊來源

這也就是為何我會非常厭惡蔣萬安陣營將北市府當作競選總部,逼令局處不斷發布「打臉沈伯洋」等劣質新聞稿。除了做法低級、違反行政中立外,更嚴重的是,此將造成長期性的資訊誤導、污染AI的資訊來源。

隨著高度的資訊碎片化、閱聽眾分眾化,加上公眾對媒體的信賴度持續下滑,所以在面對選戰辯論等重要場合,民眾對於相對客觀、可信資訊的需求,也變得更加強烈與迫切。

儘管過去也有機構或媒體進行相關分析,例如常見的辯論懶人包,但通常要等到辯論隔天,甚至更久之後才會出現。

辯論直播 即時打臉時代來了

如今,AI快速填補了這項需求,大幅縮短資訊查證與分析的時間差。

例如10月31日辯論直播的同時,就出現許多「即時打臉」的場面。辯論一結束,立刻有人整理出雙方發言逐字稿及分類分析,包括各自談論市政、攻擊對手的比例,以及重視的議題、重複出現的詞彙等。

這種即時、高效率的資訊整理與分析,也是過去選戰少見的現象。

台北市長電視辯論後,大規模將AI運用於即時事實查核及候選人發言逐字稿分析,圖為民進黨發出戳破蔣萬安十大謊言。(取自民進黨臉書)儘管當前短影音、金句等傳播形式,仍然是強化候選人形象標籤、煽動情緒的主要方式,但在AI輔助下,對於有心深入了解候選人政策主張、語言特質的中間及游離選民而言,將更容易取得相對完整的分析資訊,作為最後決定投票意向的參考依據。

我看到一份AI逐字稿分析,在雙方交互提問時,沈伯洋的提問全部聚焦市政,蔣萬安則有一半在追問沈伯洋的過去發言;而從整體辯論來看,蔣萬安攻擊對手的比例,更比沈伯洋高出三倍。

而從辯論的同時,蔣萬安、徐巧芯也突然在Threads上活過來了。

這種實體辯論與線上社群同步交叉進行的操作,若搭配AI數據分析綜合來看,很顯然蔣萬安陣營將辯論目標設定在激化支持者情緒、重振藍營氣勢。

AI可能逐漸削弱 KOL影響力

目前看來,確實有其成效。但當情緒退去之後,究竟能撼動多少原本對蔣萬安抱持觀望態度的選民,仍是個問號。

但AI的問題也顯而易見。如同Threads空戰面臨的困境,這些AI資訊也很可能只是進一步強化同溫層內的回音室效應。

此外,媒體或社群上的意見領袖,過去之所以能在選戰中發揮重要影響力,部分原因在於資訊落差所形成的權威與信任關係。

但AI可能逐漸削弱這些KOL(關鍵意見領袖)的影響力。特別是那些政黨色彩鮮明、幾乎不具專業參考價值,卻總以「醫師」、「學者」等身分發表政治評論的意見領袖,最後可能只會淪為同溫層內的助燃器。

這次選戰在傳播學上,有許多值得深入探討的議題。無論是Threads作為新興的選戰空戰平台,或是AI大規模投入選戰應用,都將在這次選舉後,迎來一次重要的實證檢驗。
