DESCRIPTION:Time: 11:00 am EDT\nDate: Tuesday\, April 9\nThe emergence of g
 enerative AI tools presents new challenges for our democracy\, introducing
  ways to manipulate facts and mislead voters at a time when our society is
  already grappling with heightened election mis- and disinformation and er
 oding trust in institutions. In her new book\, “AI Needs You: How We Can C
 hange AI’s Future and Save Our Own\,” Verity Harding lays out\, in clear a
 nd compelling terms\, lessons for our time. Drawing on deep insight into t
 he process of technology development and the great scientific achievements
  of the past – including IVF\, the space race and the early internet – she
  empowers each of us to join the conversation about AI and its possible fu
 tures.  \n Despite existing risks and harms associated with AI\, technolog
 y corporations and policymakers continue to prioritize innovation and comp
 etition over people. Just like our democracy\, AI can only benefit all of 
 us if we are all represented in its development and governance. The future
  of AI\, and our future with it\, needs a more transparent and participato
 ry approach that centers people.\nAlexandra Reeve Givens from the Center f
 or Democracy and Technology and Verity Harding\, director of the AI &amp\;
  Geopolitics project at the University of Cambridge and former head of pol
 icy at Google Deepmind will host an informal and invite-only salon to disc
 uss the need for a robust participatory and democratic approach to AI poli
 cy\, drawing on lessons from some of the most important policy moments in 
 our nation’s history.\nLogin info will be sent to registered attendees in 
 advance of the event.\nQuestions: We will accept questions for panelists b
 efore and during the discussion. You can submit them via email at question
 s@cdt.org or via Twitter at #cdtquestions and @CenDemTech. For those joini
