When politicians "flood the zone": Join us to brainstorm AI solutions to information overload

​When information overload is a political strategy aimed at saturating news coverage to exhaust the public and avoid accountability, how can AI help people overcome news fatigue and stay engaged?

​Join Hacks/Hackers for a virtual ideation session to reimagine political coverage and ride the wave.

Key impacts of a "flood the zone" strategy:

• ​Creates disorientation through rapid-fire releases of news and policy changes

• ​Dilutes public outrage by constantly shifting focus to new controversies

• ​Overwhelms media's ability to provide in-depth coverage or fact-checking

• ​Erodes trust in institutions by mixing information with misinformation

• ​Enables rapid policy implementation while opposition struggles to respond

• ​Makes coordinated resistance difficult due to constant defensive positioning
