Policy Voices | AI & Democracy: Empowering informed citizens

This podcast episode is part of a special series by Debating Europe delving into the most pressing issues raised by AI in our democracies.

Soon enough, you will be able to send an AI-generated version of yourself to that Zoom meeting you’ve been dreading or ask it to stay on the phone for hours with customer service to cancel that gym subscription. It sounds like a dream, right? But this also means that, soon enough, we will no longer be able to distinguish fact from fiction when watching the news.

In this third episode of the special series of Policy Voices on AI & Democracy, brought to you by Debating Europe, host Catarina Vila Nova sits down with Ben Hammersley, Founder of Hammersley Futures and European Young Leader, and Ramesh Srinivasan, Professor of Information Studies at UCLA, to discuss the importance of media literacy when navigating the AI era.
