Summary
Former Downing Street chief of staff Morgan McSweeney warns the left must urgently embrace artificial intelligence or risk letting authoritarians seize control—AI’s ability to micro-target voters could fracture democracy by turning elections into fragmented, personalized battles. Drawing from his role in Labour’s 2024 win, McSweeney argues political forces must master AI, not just regulate it, echoing historical patterns where the left lagged behind the right in tech adoption. He frames AI as a transformative force reshaping governance and politics, driven by voter insecurity, and calls for proactive leadership in this new era. Amid internal Labour tensions following poor local election results, McSweeney’s message hits home: adapt or be left behind. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
