GE Tonight: Scroll, Click, Vote — The Hidden Power of Social Media in Politics

View descriptionShare

As political campaigns increasingly play out online, artificial intelligence and social media algorithms are reshaping how voters engage with politics — often without them even realising it. From curated content to algorithmic echo chambers, the digital space has become both a tool and a battleground in the 2025 election.

In this episode of GE Tonight, we examine how AI is quietly shaping political perception: Are voters being nudged by biased algorithms? Is social media popularity becoming a prerequisite for political success? And how much agency do we really have in an age of digital influence?

Our guests break it all down:
🔹 Anthony Tung, Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore.
🔹 Nicholas Fang, former Nominated Member of Parliament and Managing Director of market research consultancy Black Dot Research.

It’s a revealing look at the intersection of AI, politics, and perception — and what it means for democracy in the digital age.
