Artificial intelligence has become near ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives. Generative AI platforms like ChatGPT boast hundreds of millions of daily users, while social media networks have become infatuated with the technologies — both in creating algorithms and users.

We bring together scholars of algorithmic governance, AI ethics, and digital humanities to discuss the use of AI in suppressing marginalised voices — from protests to policing — and what this may mean for democracy.

Panelists: Dr Matt Mahmoudi, Dr Amy Gaeta, Christoffer Koch Andersen
