The current topic of conversation among many is artificial intelligence, commonly known as AI. While there are concerns about its control and management by humans, as well as potential misuse by malicious parties to spread false information, experts like Dr. Scott Brennen believe that AI has the potential to address societal issues and improve people’s productivity.
In an interview with Dr. Brennen, the focus was on the capabilities of AI in communication, both positive and negative. Part Two of the conversation continued this discussion with a special emphasis on political communication, particularly in relation to the upcoming 2024 election. Despite Dr. Brennen’s optimism that the risk of AI-generated fake news impacting the election is limited, elected officials still need to address potential risks to protect the integrity of the democratic process.
