The Democracy Gap_ Navigating AI in the Age of Elections

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

Imagine a world where the speed of innovation outruns the pace of law itself. That is the reality of our political landscape today, where artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how we experience democracy. We are living through a massive governance gap. Technology is evolving in weeks, but Washington moves in years, leaving us in a state of regulatory whiplash. The core of the problem is that AI has essentially industrialized deception. With bot networks, sophisticated algorithms, and generative tools, the scale at which misinformation can be produced is unlike anything we have ever seen. It is not just about deepfakes impersonating candidates, although that is certainly a major part of the threat. It is also the subtle, dangerous stuff—like chatbots providing voters with incorrect election dates or confusing requirements.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
