Can AI Help Fix Democracy? A Conversation with Beth Simone Noveck
Summary
This podcast episode features Beth Simone Noveck, author of "Reboot: AI and the Race to Save Democracy," discussing how artificial intelligence could be used to improve democratic governance rather than destroy it. Drawing from her experience in the Obama White House and advising 10 Downing Street, Noveck explores the hopeful possibility that AI can help citizens govern better, listen more effectively, and fix broken democratic systems — a perspective notably absent from mainstream tech conferences like TED.
