Will the economy play a big role in the debate and going forward in the race to the White House? (1)
I think so, especially inflations and the cost of living. Those are still big concerns whey looking at polling numbers and people are still really struggling. Inflation has improved and has been improving for a while now, but people are still feeling like groceries cost too much and necessities cost to much and that's still a big concern
Will the candidates stance on abortion play a role in the debate and the upcoming race? (1)
I think the abortion topic will be part of the debate and part of the national conversation. We've seen polling that shows that shows people are having conversations about this topic, that they're learning a lot more about abortions and about the various reasons why women may have abortions. And the candidates are very different on that issue.
Can the presidential debate sway voters? (1)
"Yes and no. No meaning that people watching the debate, that are political junkies who are already interested, they are already rooting for a candidate and that's why they are watching. But the media coverage, post debate, especially if there's a consensus that one candidate won, that can really sway people."
How did no cameras and recordings in the courtroom affect potential voters in the former President Donald Trump case? (1)
"Seeing them actually give their testimony rather than having someone who was in the courtroom describe how believable they seem to be — people like to make up their own minds. I think a lot of that stuff probably would have gone viral if there was video of it. And right now, the average American isn’t really paying attention to the trial because it’s not making good TikTok content. It’s not making good social media content because there aren’t those clips.”
Can we tell the difference between real and fake where AI is involved? (1)
There’s nothing the public can do in determining if the AI generated images or propaganda is real or not. So right now the public really just has to rely on the U.S. Intelligence community and the social networks, social media networks themselves to tell you if something is AI generated or if it’s been altered or might be a deepfake. The intelligence community of the United States has the capability to tell us something is a deepfake, for instance, through its reverse AI technology.
