In this thought-provoking episode of Lunchtime BABLing, BABL AI CEO Dr. Shea Brown sits down with Jeffery Recker and Bryan Ilg to unpack one of the most pressing topics of our time: AI’s impact on democracy. From algorithm-driven echo chambers and misinformation to the role of social media in shaping political discourse, the trio explores how AI is quietly—and sometimes loudly—reshaping our democratic systems.

- What happens when personalized content becomes political propaganda?

- Is YouTube the new social media without us realizing it?

- Can regulations keep up with AI’s accelerating influence?

- And are we already too far gone—or is there still time to rethink, regulate, and reclaim our democratic integrity?

This episode dives into:

- The unintended consequences of algorithmic curation

- The collapse of objective reality in the digital age

- AI-driven misinformation in elections

- The tension between regulation and free speech

- Global responses—from Finland’s education system to the EU AI Act

- What society can (and should) do to fight back

Whether you’re in tech, policy, or just trying to make sense of the chaos online, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
