PODCAST

The First AI Elections

Two billion people worldwide are set to vote in elections this year, amid global conflict, societal mistrust, broken information ecosystems and the disruption of generative AI. How are governments and tech companies anticipating and mitigating the chaos? Hear from Taiwan’s first Digital Minister Audrey Tang, Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Microsoft’s general manager of Democracy Forward Ginny Badanes in a conversation moderated by Vivian Schiller, the executive director of Aspen Digital at the Aspen Institute. These experts discuss what regulations are needed between private and public institutions, how to train voters to be critical consumers of information, and where artificial intelligence can actually help democratic processes, not hinder them.

SESSION

Driving Into the Future

“I wish more people would be talking about the driving experience instead of the politics of EVs,” says Jim Farley. As the CEO of Ford, he’s at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution, and wants consumers to know that EVs come with more than just environmental and social benefits – they’re also really fun to drive. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin interviews Farley about the future of vehicle technology and the build out needed to get more EV drivers on the road.
