#7: 404 - Policy Not Found | Governing the Algorithmic Election: AI, Democracy & Accountability

Canada just lived through its first federal election shaped by artificial intelligence and we weren’t ready. In this episode of 404 Policy Not Found, host Renee Black is joined by Beatrice Wayne of the Samara Centre for Democracy and Fenwick McKelvey of Concordia University to unpack what really happened during the 2025 Canadian election — and what it reveals about the future of democracy. Rather than focusing on sensational deepfakes or single “smoking gun” moments, this conversation dives into the structural realities shaping elections today: a polluted information ecosystem, weakened platform governance, declining trust in news, and the quiet normalization of AI-driven political content.
