The Future Political Party: Build, Buy, or Collaborate in the Age of AI?
16:30
Vision stage
What does a political party look like when it is designed for the realities of AI, permanent campaigning, and declining trust? This Vision Stage session brings together Joshua Carrington (CTO, UK Labour Party), Jochen König (Cosmonauts & Kings), and Leah Bae (Higher Ground Labs) to explore how modern parties rethink their tech stacks—from data and CRM to comms, organising, and governance. The discussion will examine how AI changes what parties can and should do in-house, where buying best-in-class tools makes sense, and when partnering with vendors or ecosystems is the smarter choice. Beyond tools, the session addresses organisational implications: skills, culture, speed, resilience, and sovereignty. At its core, the conversation asks how parties can become more adaptive, trustworthy, and effective—without turning themselves into software companies, and without outsourcing their strategic brain.
