For Fact’s Sake podcast: Will AI disinformation sway the general election?

For Fact’s Sake is back for a brand new series, kicking off with a special three-part look at the impact of misinformation on the upcoming elections this year.

In the first episode, we spoke to Polly Curtis from think tank Demos about how AI could affect the general election, and democracy more widely.

Demos has recently produced a report on the potential of AI to alter democracy.

We also launched our newest feature, the Conspiracy Dictionary, with a look at the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Show notes:
