The federal election is just around the corner. This is a good opportunity to take a look at the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on our democracy—with speakers from correctiv, Fachhochschule Dortmund, the City of Dortmund, and the Düsseldorf Institute for Internet and Democracy.
From social media and fake news to opportunities for more constructive political discussion: AI has long been part of our everyday political life. Learn how AI shapes our information landscape, what risks of manipulation exist, and what opportunities it offers. Together, we’ll make the topic of AI more accessible, ask critical questions, and consider how we can use AI in a way that benefits our democracy.
