Session 2: Democracy & Trust

AI is changing how information spreads, how people form opinions, and who citizens trust. This bipartisan conversation examines AI’s impact on misinformation, elections, and civic responsibility–and what it will take to protect trust and democratic norms in an AI-driven world.

This event is open to the public but requires tickets. Furman students, faculty, and staff may attend for free and do not need to register.

Presented by The Riley Institute and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman, in collaboration with campus partners.
