AI meets UI: Building Radically better Democracy Tools

​The UK Democracy Network and ANTIPARTY are pleased to present the next in our series of AI & Democracy Webinars.

​Will we ever see a day when online tools and platforms are a net benefit to democracy? Is there any hope of AI making this problem better, not worse? In this webinar, Jeremy Evans will trace how educational democracy tools have evolved, and failed to evolve, since the rise of social media, explore how AI changes this landscape, and describe the shifts that his organisation Embeddables believes are necessary for the civic tech community to finally turn the tide.

​Jeremy Evans is a former journalist, teacher and engineer, now running the startup Embeddables, a low-code platform for rapidly building, and iterating on, democracy tools. Embeddables grew out of the experience that Jeremy and his co-founder Matt, a former political speechwriter, had when an election tool they'd built went unexpectedly viral - and they had to figure out how to scale some hastily written code to 2 million voters in a matter of days.

​ANTIPARTY is a pro-democracy movement borne from the partygate scandal, looking to transcend the two-party system with collective intelligence for systems change. We will restore hope by re-imagining a system that works for us, not those in power.
