Host Jayson Manship explores how artificial intelligence can analyze complex local civic issues on this episode of Authentic and Agentic. Manship breaks down Public Question 3, the Noblesville schools operating referendum on the Nov. 3 ballot, examining why competing groups cite three radically different cost estimates for the same median $350,000 home. He details the official state ballot warning of $955 a year, the school district's estimated net increase of $1.88 a month and the opposition group's projection of about $19 a month. The episode explains the financial mechanics behind the measure, which asks voters to replace an expiring 37-cent tax rate with an authorized ceiling of up to 57 cents per $100 of net assessed value through 2034. Manship outlines how the referendum funds 20 percent of the district's operating budget, while examining a school board resolution pledging to cap the 2027 rate at 38.5 cents. Manship also tests how artificial intelligence handles political polarization. He demonstrates experiments using Google NotebookLM to reveal how feeding a tool only pro-referendum materials produced an echo-chamber summary, while adding opposition documents brought out state audit data on $45.9 million in cash reserves and $54.1 million in fund transfers. Using Claude to calculate his personal tax bill and ChatGPT voice mode to steel-man both sides of the debate, Manship outlines a five-step guide for voters to evaluate ballot measures using AI.

He breaks down how AI collapses the cost of organizing financial data and introduces Day Two, a context-driven app that helps micro-entrepreneurs turn receipts, voice notes and spreadsheets into usable financial records without relying on an empty chat box.

Manship then revisits a conversation with Megan Sullivan and Adam Kronk from the Institute for Ethics and the Common Good at Notre Dame University. The two philosophers explore the cognitive risks of outsourcing human tasks to technology, comparing reliance on AI to using GPS for navigation.
