It's Bloody Complicated - A Compass Podcast

AI and Democracy | ep 105

April 29, 2024 • Compass

Over the last few years, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform our society has become increasingly apparent. This comes with incredible opportunities – AI could help deepen our democracy and enable our politics to get closer to citizens to represent them more effectively – but is also fraught with risk. How can we take advantage of these opportunities while preventing AI from further destabilising our democracy with deepfakes and disinformation? To discuss all of this and more, we were joined by:

Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan, Senior Research Fellow at IPPR
Laura Giesen, Editor in Chief at Democracy Technologies
