How a county is using AI to help people find common ground

Season 2025 Episode 218 | 9m 01s

But one Kentucky county is taking a different approach, using the technology to boost something far more human: civic engagement. Judy Woodruff reports on an experiment that revealed surprising levels of agreement. It’s part of her series, America at a Crossroads.
