How do we protect our democracy from corruption and foreign threats?
Description
Foreign influence on our elections is as old as our country itself. However, as disinformation tools become more sophisticated with the advent of emerging technologies—such as AI—the threat of election interference and democratic backsliding grows stronger as well. But it's not just foreign actors we have to worry about, as influence from abroad often means corruption at home. In this episode, host Katie Dunn Tenpas discusses how we can protect our democracy from foreign threats with Norm Eisen, a senior fellow and chair of the Anti-Corruption, Democracy, and Security project, and how foreign influence breeds domestic corruption with Quinta Jurecic, a Brookings fellow and senior editor at Lawfare.
