What: Dialogue on the impacts of AI on global democracy feat. Bruce Schneier, hosted by the University of Montana Mansfield Center
When: 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 18th
Where: Bozeman Public Library, 626 E Main St, Bozeman, MT 59715, and virtually via Zoom (links will be sent to registered guests)
WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE EVENT:
Join the UM Mansfield Center for a dialogue with internationally renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is altering the fundamental work of democracy globally through campaigning, voting, writing, legislation, enforcing policy, how courts are run, and more. Many of the changes will make democracies more responsive to the will of the people, involve citizens ever more deeply in governance, and could make aspects of our society more just, if we begin the conversation now to create secure and trusted AI systems.
This Dialogue is available in person and via Zoom.
Guest Speaker:
Bruce Schneier - Internationally Renowned Security Technologist
Schneier has been called a “security guru” by The Economist. He is the author of over a dozen books as well as hundreds of articles, essays, and academic papers.
Schneier’s latest book, A Hacker’s Mind, encourages readers to apply the hacker mentality to our various social, political, economic, and legal systems. Schneier’s work on the book sparked deeper thinking about the suitability of our centuries-old democratic processes and institutions and whether they were still up to the task in our ever-increasing polarized and fractured political climate.
