The Turing Lectures: Can democracy handle AI?

Описание: In the first lecture of the series, The Alan Turing Institute’s Head of Online Safety and AI for Public Services, Jonathan Bright, will explore how political campaigns are making use of AI and the challenges posed by deepfakes. He'll also talk about fact-checking, content moderation and why it's so important to approach the media we consume in the digital age with a healthy amount of scepticism.

Jonathan will probe AI’s impact on our political world and what it might mean for the future of democracy. This talk aims to leave its audience with a better understanding of the ways in which AI could both support and undermine democracy, and the steps we can take to increase our resilience to AI generated misinformation.

This series of Turing Lectures is presented by The Alan Turing Institute, in partnership with Knowledge Quarter.
