## How to Use AI to Build a Better Democracy What if AI could be more than a threat to democracy—and instead become a powerful tool for strengthening it? In this **interactive two-hour session**, we’ll explore practical ways ordinary people can use AI to become more informed, make government more transparent, organize communities, hold powerful institutions accountable, and make their voices heard. Through hands-on activities and small-group challenges, participants will experiment with using AI to understand complex issues, analyze government actions, communicate persuasively, and build civic power. Bring your laptop. We’ll also confront the hard questions: **Who controls these tools? What could go wrong? And how do we make sure AI strengthens democratic power rather than concentrating it?** Come ready to **experiment, imagine, and build new ways to put AI to work for democracy.** This event is an Action Labs production and a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
