Security expert Bruce Schneier joins Campaign Trend host Eric Wilson to discuss his upcoming book "Rewiring Democracy" and how AI is already transforming politics behind the scenes. From AI-written laws in Brazil to chatbots helping local candidates engage voters, Schneier explores AI"s potential as both a democratizing force and power concentrator. He introduces his "four S"s" framework for understanding when AI replaces humans and addresses why deepfakes aren"t the biggest concern. The conversation covers AI polling, regulation challenges, and the concept of AI-enhanced citizenship while rejecting both utopian and dystopian extremes.  Visit our website: CampaignTrend.com
