We stand at a critical juncture in politics.
Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction; it's actively reshaping our political landscape in ways we're only beginning to understand.
Social media's impact was just the warm-up act. Now, AI offers unprecedented tools for political campaigns – but will they be used to enhance democracy or to manipulate it?
Join Verlicity AI co-founders Cristian Worthington and Sandra Giffin as they dive deep into the AI age of politics.

- Project Marionette: A chilling look at how AI could fabricate entire political scandals.
- Audience Reverse Engineering: Discover how AI can gain hidden insights into voter affinities, using techniques like "Digital Peanut Butter".
- The New Campaign Toolkit: From hyper-personalized targeting and deep fakes to autonomous AI agents and AI-driven opposition research.
- The Double-Edged Sword: Can AI actually democratize politics by lowering costs for smaller campaigns, or will it deepen the digital divide and poison civic discourse?
Cristian and Sandra share insights from their own groundbreaking work with a political think tank and examine global trends. We discuss the urgent ethical questions and offer potential solutions, from regulation to personal vigilance.
Is AI destined to "hack" our democratic processes, or can we steer it towards a more informed and inclusive future? Tune in to find out.
