  • 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:  Our country is more divided than ever, with too many of us isolated from those who hold  different views. This division damages our communities, disrupts our families, and stops us from  working together for the common good.  We believe our nation can survive and thrive for every American who contributes to the effort.  Where we go from here is up to us.  We envision an America where courageous citizenship is the honored norm, renewing civic  culture and building trust across political differences.    We inspire and equip Americans to practice courageous citizenship across political differences  through skill-building, convening, and collaborative action.   […]
