SUMMARY:Denver AI at the Denver Press Club: THE ELECTION HANGOVER\, AI and the 2026 Midterms
DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Denver AI and Denver Press Club Presents: THE ELECTION HANGOVER: What AI Really Did to the 2026 Midterms \nThe polls have closed. The ads have stopped. The robocalls have (mostly) gone quiet. \nNow comes the morning after\, and the questions nobody has fully answered yet. \nThe 2026 midterms were the first elections where generative AI was everywhere at once. It wrote campaign emails\, produced ads\, cloned voices\, answered voters’ questions (sometimes correctly)\, flooded feeds with synthetic content\, and helped newsrooms cover hundreds of races at a speed no human team could match. \nSo what actually happened? How much of what voters saw was real? Who got fooled\, who caught it\, and who missed it entirely? And why should a business leader who has never run for office care about any of this? \nHere’s why: every tool that targeted voters this fall can be aimed at your company next. A cloned candidate’s voice can just as easily be your CEO’s voice. A fake news story about a race can be a fake story about your product recall. And the AI research your team relies on every day has the same habit of confidently making things up. \nNo red. No blue. No spin. Just what happened\, how it worked\, and what comes next. \n️The Topic\nReal or Rendered? A live round of “Spot the Fake.” We’ll put real and AI-generated campaign content on screen\, from audio to images to headlines\, and you vote from your phone. Most people are more confident than they are accurate. Let’s find out about you. \nThe Panel: Covering the First AI Election. Political journalists\, an elections expert\, and AI researchers on: \n\nWhat AI actually did this cycle\, and how much of the hype held up\nHow newsrooms verified what was real on deadline\, and where they came up short\nDeepfakes\, voice clones and synthetic ads: how they’re made\, how they spread\, how they get caught\nAI slop and bad research: what happens when the “facts” come from a chatbot\nWhat every business should learn before its own reputation becomes the target\n\nThe Exit Poll. We open the floor to your questions\, and then the whole room votes on one question: Did AI help democracy this year\, or hurt it? We’ll reveal the results live. \n️The Agenda\n5:00 – 5:30 PM | Polls Open: Networking\, drinks and holiday cheer at the Press Club\n5:30 – 5:45 PM | Opening Statements: Welcome from Denver AI and the Denver Press Club\n5:45 – 6:05 PM | Early Returns: Real or Rendered? Live audience challenge\n6:05 – 7:05 PM | The Count: Panel Discussion: Covering the First AI Election\n7:05 – 7:30 PM | The Exit Poll: Audience Q&A and live vote\n7:30 PM – Whenever | The Victory Party: A holiday après at the Press Club bar. Everyone wins this one. \n  \nRegister here \nor at https://denverpressclub.wildapricot.org/event-6909792
