Greenpeace seeks to shift power by unleashing and promoting people's active involvement in elections, public budgets, and other forms of civil and community participation.

When transparency is ensured, elections represent an opportunity to enable climate and social justice at a systemic level.

What does that look like in a world where AI can influence electoral processes and shift democracy as we know it?

Carl and Joycelyn spoke to data and social scientist Dr Rumman Chowdhury in the new episode of #SystemShift, a Greenpeace podcast that explores how we can move from a world that serves the economy to an economy that serves people and the planet.
