People will eventually question the relevance of democracy in an AI-driven world

The reasoning
AI is making it harder to differentiate between real and fake news, elections will be claimed to be influenced by AI agents, building fake evidence for conspiracy thoeries has never been easier. This will create a climat where people are in high defiance of their governments, unable to trust them or even trust they were elected following the will of the people. There might come a time where this builds up to massive riots, not protesting against a specific law or life conditions but against the very idea and relevance of democracy in an IA-driven world where trust is nearly impossible to build. The bet is that democracy will eventually fall or have to evolve in order to maintain it’s relevance.
