We discuss how AI can both serve the public interest and advance the goals of our democracy, despite the misgivings about the current state of AI.

Bruce's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1) Use the tools of AI!

2) Use assistive tech to write to your elected representatives

Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist, chief of security architecture at Inrupt Inc, a lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School, and the co-author of Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship.
