A panel discussion titled “AI in Politics” will be hosted by the American Jewish Conservatives in North Texas on January 27, 2026, focusing on the influence of artificial intelligence on democratic processes. The event will take place at Hooky Entertainment Addison, where elected officials and technology experts will come together to explore how AI is reshaping American political landscapes, from campaign strategies to public policy.
The significance of this event comes amid growing concerns from Texas and federal officials regarding the implications of AI on public policy and national security. Recently, Texas Governor Greg Abbott engaged with U.S. ambassadors to discuss AI’s role in defense manufacturing and energy infrastructure. This highlights the urgent need for a dialogue on how emerging technologies can impact governance at various levels.
Legislative updates will be presented by Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, representing Texas’s 24th Congressional District, and State Senator Tan Parker, who represents District 12. Both officials are expected to emphasize the intersection of AI technologies with public policy and national security issues.
Joining them for a moderated discussion will be private-sector and academic leaders, including Alexander Sicular, a former Google executive and health AI strategic advisor, and Dr. Tim McDonough, a clinical professor at Southern Methodist University specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The discussion will be moderated by Alexander David McMath, managing principal at Atelier Strategy & Development.
Organizers aim to delve into the practical applications of AI tools in political campaigns and governance, as well as the ethical and constitutional dilemmas posed by rapid advancements in data analytics and digital persuasion. Key topics will likely cover the benefits and risks associated with AI-assisted campaigning, the delicate balance between innovation and individual liberties, and how policymakers and voters can navigate a landscape increasingly shaped by technology.
The event is set to begin with a VIP meet-and-greet at 6:00 p.m., followed by the main program at 6:30 p.m. Participants can take advantage of early-bird ticket pricing available until January 10. Tickets can be reserved online, and the event is notably sponsored at the platinum level by Patriot Mobile.
This discussion underscores a growing recognition of AI’s profound impact on civic life and democratic governance. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, the implications for future elections, public policy, and individual freedoms become increasingly critical for lawmakers, political strategists, and the electorate alike.
