Welcome from the Chair
1st Sci Webinar
AI in Politics
Thank you for joining us today for this insightful and timely discussion on AI in Politics. As Chair of this webinar, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome all of you—researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and political enthusiasts from around the world.
In an era where technology is reshaping every facet of our lives, artificial intelligence has emerged as a transformative force in the political landscape. From data-driven decision-making to predictive analytics, AI is offering new tools for political campaigns, enhancing voter engagement, and even influencing policy formulation. However, with these advancements come new challenges, particularly in the areas of ethics, transparency, and governance.
Today's webinar aims to explore the multifaceted role of AI in politics, addressing both the opportunities and the potential risks. We will hear from a diverse panel of experts who will shed light on how AI is shaping political strategies, electoral processes, and the broader democratic landscape.
I encourage each of you to actively participate in the discussions, raise questions, and engage with the ideas presented. Together, we can explore how AI can contribute to a more informed, inclusive, and effective political system while also safeguarding the principles that underpin our democracies.
Once again, welcome, and let’s begin what I am sure will be a fascinating and thought-provoking session. Thank you.

Recording
During this Sci Webinar, Adrian David Cheok explored the technical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in political campaigns, focusing on the 2024 U.S. presidential election. He discussed how AI technologies, such as data analytics, predictive modeling, natural language processing, and automated content generation, have been utilized to enhance voter profiling, sentiment analysis, and personalized outreach. Additionally, he examined the implications of AI-driven strategies on campaign efficiency and voter engagement.
Dr. Michele Nardelli's talk delved into potential mathematical connections between fundamental physics equations and mathematical constants. By analyzing the Schrödinger equation and the Einstein field equation, Dr. Nardelli identified possible links to the DN constant, ζ(2), the golden ratio, and π, suggesting new patterns that bridge theoretical cosmology and string theory.
Both presentations underscore the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary research, highlighting how advanced technologies and mathematical analyses can provide deeper insights into complex systems, whether in political dynamics or fundamental physics.

From the Schrodinger Equation and the Einstein Field Equation to the ζ(2), the Golden Ratio and π: A possible new mathematical pattern by Ramanujan mathematics
Michele Nardelli studied Geophysics and Mathematics at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, and at the Department of Mathematics and Applications “R. Caccioppoli," University of Naples Federico II. He worked as an Assistant Researcher in Mathematics until 1997, under the guidance of Prof. Antonio Grablovitz. Among his significant discoveries, Michele has explored deep mathematical connections between sectors of theoretical cosmology and number theory. His recent works include research on the development of the MRB Constant, with possible mathematical connections to quantum gravity, cosmology, black holes, and string theory. He has published numerous articles on academic platforms, including: • "On Some Mathematical Connections between the Cyclic Universe, Inflationary Universe, p-Adic Inflation, p-Adic Cosmology and Various Sectors of Number Theory" • "A Number Theoretic Analysis of the Enthalpy, Enthalpy Energy Density, Thermodynamic Volume, and the Equation of State of a Modified White Hole, and the Implications to the Quantum Vacuum Spacetime, Matter Creation and the Planck Frequency" His methodical approach and dedication to self-taught research recall the path of the legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Nardelli continues to be an inspiration in the scientific community, combining the depth of number theory with the frontiers of theoretical cosmology.
