Dr. Glen Fenter spoke at the Charleston Chamber of Commerce banquet, warning about the threats to communities from dark money, social media, and artificial intelligence. He noted that social media has made everyone a publisher, but not everyone an editor, and that truth must be actively pursued. Fenter highlighted the risks of AI amplifying misinformation and the dangers of dark money in state and local elections. The combination of these factors can lead to manipulative social media campaigns that shape public opinion.
