How worried should we be about AI and the election? As advances in generative artificial intelligence stand to disrupt elections, The Guardian and KQED ask what the latest developments mean for democracy. AI has been used to doctor photos, create deep fakes, manipulate candidates' voices and seed false information about voting among targeted groups — and this will only ramp up as Election Day approaches. Can it be used to improve democracy? In conversation with guests across technology, media and the law, KQED’s Rachael Myrow and The Guardian's Rachel Leingang will explore what’s happening right now and what ramifications it will have on campaigns, journalists, voters, national security and democracy. Co-presented by The Guardian and UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
