**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](https://demos.co.uk/research/generating-democracy-ai-and-the-coming-revolution-in-political-communications/?ref=theferret.scot) 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).
