There has been a widespread discussion of the potential dangers posed by AI to our democratic processes, including through the weaponization of disinformation. But could AI actually help democracy?


Focusing on the potential of AI tools to increase participation in democratic processes, this panel explores new technological approaches to giving voices to those who are commonly excluded from public discourse. How can AI help empower varied and nuanced opinions to combat the polarization of political discourse? Will AI provide amplification for a larger set of voices and offer new insights into the issues that shape our political allegiance?


Democracy in the Age of AI is presented by Cambridge Science Festival and the MIT Museum, and will be moderated by the Museum's newly appointed Director, Micheal John Gorman. Following the discussion, guests will have an opportunity to participate in technology-enhanced small group deliberation.


This program is presented as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. The MIT Museum is free during the festival.


This is a ticketed event with standing room available for the public; pre-registration is required.


Please note that unclaimed seats and standing room will be released to the general public 10 minutes prior to the program's start time. To guarantee attendance, please arrive early.
