SXSW 2024
Social Media, AI, and the Future of Democracy
Description:
Social media is evolving rapidly, in ways that can undermine democracy. At the Georgetown Law Center on National Security, we researched the future of critical internet technologies, developed nightmare scenarios of AI misuse, and put those scenarios to a diverse group of global experts in search of solutions. Come hear our predictions for the future of the internet, its implications for free societies, and how each of us can make a difference in the fight for democracies worldwide. We will share insights from our groundbreaking recent reports and our ongoing research.
