As artificial intelligence reshapes how information is created, distributed, and consumed, democracies face new and evolving challenges.
In this upcoming program, Valerie Wirtschafter, fellow in Foreign Policy and the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative at Brookings, will examine how AI-driven technologies, algorithms, and new media ecosystems are transforming the global information space and testing democratic resilience. Drawing on her research and expertise, Valerie will explore subjects such as foreign influence operations, AI-generated content, and the role of platforms in shaping political discourse. Wirtschafter will also discuss the ways that policymakers, institutions, and tech companies can respond to democratic erosion while harnessing emerging technologies responsibly in an era of rapid digital change.
