AI-Driven Leadership & Emotional Manipulation – The Deeper Thinking Podcast

In this episode of The Deeper Thinking Podcast, we explore the profound shift in leadership dynamics caused by the rise of artificial intelligence. As AI continues to redefine how leaders communicate and engage, we examine the implications for democracy, autonomy, and ethical governance.

Are we entering an era where leadership is no longer rooted in personal virtue or democratic processes, but in emotional resonance and algorithmic manipulation? What happens when leaders can directly influence public sentiment by analyzing and targeting emotional triggers through data?

We delve into the ethical dilemmas posed by AI’s ability to monitor, predict, and manipulate emotional responses. Is AI enhancing or undermining democracy? How do we ensure that this new form of leadership remains accountable to the people rather than the algorithms that drive it?

Key thinkers like Judith Butler and Wendy Brown offer valuable insights on the intersection of power, autonomy, and manipulation, providing philosophical frameworks for understanding the rise of AI-driven leadership.
