TikTok + AI: Politics in the Feed

​This session is part of the Introduction to Political Technology course at Newspeak House, open to faculty and fellowship candidates only.

​TikTok is where culture and politics collide and the right is already using AI to make fast, emotionally-charged content that spreads. What does this mean for campaigns, and how should progressives respond?

​This workshop is an experiment. We’ll explore how AI and TikTok can be combined, look at how the right is already deploying these tools, and try out how to create optimal content in this new space. Along the way, we’ll ask:

• ​How are the new right using this technology and format? 👉

• ​What kinds of political stories work in this format?📚

• ​How do AI-generated sounds, scripts, and images change what’s possible? 💭

• ​What risks and opportunities does this open up for campaigners and organisers? ⚖️

• ​How much of this can we automate? 👀

​Come ready to explore, test, and question.
