How technology is changing democracy - ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation

With the US midterm elections looming and our own state elections on the horizon, how is technology shaping the way we vote? And how might it impact democracy?

We hear from fact-checkers, internet researchers and cybersecurity experts about AI-generated political deepfakes, election disinformation, social media algorithms, and the hazards of online voting technology.

*This episode is an amalgamation of the most interesting conversations we've had about democracy and technology over the last year. If you'd like to revisit these conversations, they can be found here, here, here and here.
