Audio: Rewiring Democracy & Hacking Trust: Bruce Schneier on the AI Offense-Defense Balance
Listen to the Audio on Cloud.WithGoogle.com
Topics covered:
- Do you believe that AI is going to end up being a net improvement for defenders or attackers? Is short term vs long term different?
- We’re excited about the new book you have coming out with your co-author Nathan Sanders, Rewiring Democracy. We want to ask the same question, but for society: do you think AI is going to end up helping the forces of liberal democracy, or the forces of corruption, illiberalism, and authoritarianism?
- If exploitation is always cheaper than patching (and attackers don’t follow as many rules and procedures), do we have a chance here?…

He argues that AI is fundamentally a power-amplifying tool: in the hands of small-d democrats it can strengthen participation, transparency, and decision-making, but in the hands of authoritarians or monopolistic tech corporations it can just as easily supercharge surveillance, manipulation, and control. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that many fears attributed to “AI itself” are really fears about capitalism, corporate power, and concentrated ownership of technology, and he offers real-world examples where AI is already helping journalism, courts, voters, and legislatures. Rather than utopian hype or doom, Schneier advocates a clear-eyed, politics-first view: AI’s impact on democracy will depend less on the technology and more on who controls it and how we choose to govern its use…
