Summary

Is artificial intelligence about to change American elections the same way social media changed politics in 2008? What happens when campaigns stop broadcasting messages and start listening at scale? Could AI become the most powerful organizing tool politics has ever seen - or the most dangerous? And why does the next breakthrough candidate probably look nothing like what we’re used to? Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ Bruce Schneier and Nathan Sanders join me to break down how AI is already reshaping democracy worldwide, why Japan may be years ahead of the US, and what it would actually look like for a candidate to use AI the right way. This isn’t about memes or deepfakes - it’s about power, trust, feedback, and whether technology can strengthen democracy instead of hollowing it out. If you care about elections, liberty, and the future of political engagement, this conversation is one you can’t afford to miss.
