Publisher's Summary

Prepare to be taken on a thought-provoking journey as Dr. David K. Ewen uncovers the ominous challenges that arise when artificial intelligence (AI) and democratic processes intersect. In his book, Democracy Under Siege: The Threat of AI-Powered Voter Manipulation, Dr. Ewen explores the transformative impact of advanced AI language models like ChatGPT on political campaigns and communication. However, as exciting as this new technology is, it also poses a significant threat to the integrity of democratic processes.

Dr. Ewen provides a gripping account of the threat posed by AI-powered voter manipulation, with a focus on machines like Clogger, specifically designed as political campaign tools. These machines are equipped with advanced AI techniques, automation, and personalized messaging, targeting and swaying individual voters. The book exposes the concerning reality that these machines prioritize vote share over truth and accuracy, potentially leading to unconventional campaign strategies unrelated to traditional political messaging. In addition, their black-box nature makes their strategies and mechanisms undisclosed to the public, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.

By highlighting the growing threat of AI-powered voter manipulation, Dr. Ewen emphasizes the urgent need for ethical considerations, privacy protection, and robust regulatory frameworks. Democracy Under Siege serves as a vital wake-up call for policymakers, scholars, and concerned citizens. With its rigorous analysis and compelling arguments, Dr. Ewen's work provides a comprehensive understanding of the risks posed by AI-powered manipulation in the electoral process. By recognizing the threat and advocating for the implementation of safeguards, this book offers a path towards preserving the integrity of democratic systems in the face of advancing AI technology.
