COUCH LESSON - AI & Democracy, tomorrow, October 21 at 8:00 AM PDT: Anti-democratic tendencies in society are on the rise, elections are influenced by modern technology, disinformation and misleadingly altered images promote racist and sexist attitudes. Increasingly rapid developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence are blamed for filter bubbles, fake news, manipulation, discrimination, surveillance of people, and for the corrosion of fundamental democratic principles.
