Rewiring Democracy: How AI Will Transform Our Politics, Government, and Citizenship
Robert Diab
This book makes an incisive and technically informed contribution to a rapidly growing body of work on AI and politics. Its central chapters survey the tangible ways AI will alter democratic practices, including political campaigning, lawmaking, administration, and legal judgment. The book is framed by the authors’ conception of democracy as “an information system that translates individual preferences into group policy decisions” (p.27), a system that can be optimized through effective use of AI. This conception has its merits, but it underplays democracy as a normative order structured by constitutional limits, institutional friction, public reasoning, and commitments to political equality—and leads the authors, in places, to understate AI’s potential impact on some of its most important dimensions…

How should we think about security when many of the most important problems are not purely technical? Bruce Schneier joins us to discuss the challenge of communicating complex security ideas to non-technical audiences, the lasting relevance of security theater, and why psychology, economics, and governance often matter as much as code. We also explore artificial intelligence, manipulated media, cybercrime, regulation, and the growing need for people who can bridge the worlds of engineering, policy, and society…

“They’re convincing a lot of people that Mythos is this amazing step change in capability when the evidence right now… is that it might not be.”
Renowned security researcher and author of Rewiring Democracy Bruce Schneier tells The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound the noise and fear around Claude Mythos is mostly “marketing hype” and many other smaller AI models are just as capable.

We chat with Bruce Schneier—renowned security technologist and, most recently, co-author of Rewiring Democracy—to discuss the relationship between technology and democracy. We get into how people with money/power use systems like AI to create a flywheel of more money/power. But importantly, as an advocate of public-interest technology, Bruce also lays out how AI is being used to empower citizens and strengthen democracy, and the techno-political conditions needed to build these democratic systems.

Audio: Book Review: Rewiring Democracy
Artificial Intelligence is a constantly changing field, and it probably occupies a good chunk of real estate in your startup and technology news feed. In the past couple of years, I have had some moderate exposure to the field, utilizing several different generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and Gemini. I run the same query through multiple systems to see where each has blind spots and which answers questions best based on the field of inquiry. As the models change, the “best” generative AI system changes frequently. If you’re using one and the model updates, it never hurts to try the others…

Is artificial intelligence strengthening democracy or quietly reshaping power in ways we’re not prepared for?
On this episode of Digital Disruption, we’re joined by world-renowned security technologist and author Bruce Schneier.
Bruce joins Geoff to explore one of the most important questions: Will AI strengthen democracy or quietly undermine it? From government services and public policy to cybersecurity, labor, and the justice system, Bruce breaks down how artificial intelligence acts as a power-magnifying technology, amplifying both the best and worst intentions of those who use it. Drawing from real-world examples in Germany, Brazil, Japan, France, Canada, and the United States, this conversation examines where AI is already reshaping democratic institutions. He also outlines four concrete strategies for steering AI toward democratic outcomes: resisting harmful uses, reforming the AI ecosystem, responsibly deploying AI where it helps, and fixing the underlying societal problems AI tends to amplify…
