What happens when disinformation meets cutting-edge AI—and Black communities are caught in the crosshairs?

In this powerful episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Esosa Osa, Founder and CEO of Onyx Impact, about the alarming rise in AI-generated political disinformation targeting Black voters. Together, they unpack how misinformation campaigns are designed to exploit emotions like anger and disappointment—sowing distrust and disengagement, especially during election cycles.

Esosa introduces the Digital Green Book, a modern tool inspired by its historic namesake, built to help Black communities navigate digital spaces safely and find truth in an era of algorithmic manipulation. Backed by Black news and cultural sources, this AI-powered guide offers fact-checking, media literacy tools, and data privacy resources designed specifically for Black users.

We explore the staggering reality that 42% of online content is generated by malicious bots, why tech billionaires profit from unsafe platforms, and how we can protect our kids, our communities, and our votes in this digital information war.
