Episode 19: AI and democracy

This week, we’re looking at another big potential challenge facing democracy: AI, or artificial intelligence. Ben wants to know how worried we should be when it comes to the rise of these new technologies. Might they spell the death knell for trust in our institutions? Or can technology play a helpful role in boosting modern democracies? Guests: Sarah Kreps, Professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University Alex Krasodomski, Programme Director of the Digital Society Initiative at Chatham House Kerry McInerney, Research Associate at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence What’s Wrong with Democracy? is produced by Tortoise Media and supported by the Open Society Foundations.
