How might AI impact our elections?
This is the second episode of a Stay Tuned miniseries, “AI on Trial,” featuring Preet Bharara in conversation with Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy at Duke University.
Preet and Nita discuss the hypothetical case of a hotly-contested Senate race. The campaigns are derailed when the leading candidate is accused of using AI to create fake videos that burnish his performance and hurt his opponent. Do existing laws, policies, and government agencies sufficiently safeguard our political process, and if not, what needs to happen to protect democracy in time for the real presidential election in November?
