Can You Trust What You See? AI and the Future of Democracy
Can You Trust What You See? AI and the Future of Democracy Thursday January 22nd, 2026, from 6-8pm Dexter’s Pub 8114 Main Street Dexter, MI 48103 “Can You Trust What You See? AI and the Future of Democracy” “That video of a candidate saying something shocking? Could be fake. That grassroots movement flooding your feed? Might be bots. The campaign message that perfectly speaks to your deepest fears? Algorithmically designed just for you. Artificial intelligence is reshaping politics in real-time. Deepfakes make “seeing is believing” obsolete. Chatbots manufacture false consensus and overwhelm genuine voices. Sophisticated targeting turns campaigns into psychological operations, delivering custom-tailored messages that bypass our rational defenses. We’re not just talking about election interference anymore—we’re watching the fundamental rules of political discourse get rewritten. How do we preserve informed democracy when disinformation scales infinitely? When anyone can generate thousands of unique fake news articles? When the line between persuasion and manipulation disappears? Join us for a critical discussion on AI’s impact on politics: the threats we face, the opportunities we’re missing, and what we can do about it.” Contact Information: Ed Karls (ekarls@braverangels.org) 734-678-4831 https://washtenaw.braverangels.org/ About Braver Angels: […]
