CampAIgn Tracker

About Us

We are an interdisciplinary team volunteering to ensure transparency about AI usage in political discourse on social media. We met at the Politechathon organized by the Baden-Württemberg Foundation in Berlin, where we won prize money in the “Media Literacy” category, enabling us to further develop the CampAIgn Tracker.

Our team consists of two researchers - Dr. Simon Kruschinski (University of Mainz) and Dr. Fabio Votta (AlgoSoc Consortium at the University of Amsterdam) - who research political campaigns on social media. They brought the initial idea to the group and are responsible for seamless coding of images/videos and their rapid processing on our platform. Miriam Runde, our data scientist, handles backend development and AI detector implementation. Jakob Scherer (background in business administration and IT) and Theresa Schültken (background in politics and strategic foresight) manage external communications and content development.
