Can A.I. Sway the 2026 Midterm Elections? | Chris Dessi Explains

Could artificial intelligence change the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections? As Americans head to the polls on Election Day, AI expert, bestselling author, and tech entrepreneur Chris Dessi joins Natasha Verma on Talking with Natasha to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping American politics—and becoming a political issue itself. From deepfake videos and AI-generated campaign ads to misinformation and voter manipulation, we’re examining how AI could influence what Americans see, believe, and ultimately decide at the ballot box. Plus, the growing controversy surrounding AI data centers. Could these massive facilities drive up electricity bills, strain local resources, and influence how Americans vote? And are the economic benefits worth the environmental and infrastructure costs? Can you still trust what you see online? Is Washington doing enough to regulate AI? And how much power should Big Tech have over our elections and everyday lives? A timely Election Day conversation about technology, democracy, and the future of America.
