Trust, Democracy and the Arrival of AI with Dr. Cristine DeClercy: Part of the AI Hopes & Fears Speaker Series Online
Dr. Cristine de Clercy is Trent University’s inaugural Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership, and one of Canada’s foremost experts in the study of political leadership. Dr. de Clercy’s research focuses on the influence of information and power dynamics on leadership, as well as election law, federalism, women’s political participation, and Canadian politics.
Join Dr. de Clercy for a survey of some key issues and problems that artificial intelligence implies for the electoral system and the quality of democracy. In the context of disinformation and state-sponsored cyber threat activity in elections, efforts to regulate and combat the use of artificial intelligence tools in the manipulation of political discourse and election outcomes face an increasingly uphill battle. Dr. DeClercy will explore some global trends in electoral cyber threats and discuss implications for Canadian elections, political leaders and voters, followed by a short audience question and answer period.
