When
Join us online for an insightful discussion on the intersection of artificial intelligence and elections.
We'll explore AI's vital role in shaping democratic processes, focusing on civil discourse, challenges of mis- or disinformation and impact on voters. AI algorithms can help detect and counter false narratives, provide fact-checking, bolster participation and accessibility, and allow us to consider issues like privacy, bias and exclusions. With perspectives from information and political scientists, journalists and discourse-driven experts, we invite you to engage in a lively exchange of ideas on the promises and pitfalls of AI in shaping the future of democracy.
The panel features:
- Diana Daly, iSchool Associate Professor of Practice
- Pate McMichael, Assistant Professor of Practice, Journalism
- Kate Kenski, Professor of Communication
- Keith Allred, Executive Director, National Institute for Civil Discourse
