Elizabeth: [00:00:04] Welcome to Wonks and War Rooms, where political communication theory meets on the ground strategy. I'm your host, Elizabeth Dubois. I'm an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa and a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center. My pronouns are she/her. Today, I've got a special announcement. Next week, instead of your regular Wednesday episode, we have a live recording on Monday, April 3rd, at noon Eastern Time. Join me and my guests for a chat about the use of AI in Canadian politics. I'll be chatting with Samantha Bradshaw, Wendy Chun, Suzie Dunn, Fenwick McKelvey, and Wendy Wong. We'll talk about the ways that AI, machine learning, and other forms of automation are integrated into campaigns and what we can expect in the next Canadian election.
