Elections in an era of generative AI |

In 2024 national elections will be held in countries including the UK, US and Taiwan. While advanced data technologies and machine learning will have been used by political parties in the past, next year will be the first elections being held in the age of generative AI. This is leading many commentators to raise alarm bells now about the potential impact of AI on democratic processes, election results and the possible impact this could have on communities and society. This is in addition to continuing concerns around the existence of data bias and the importance of information integrity to election outcomes. In this panel experts will share views on what they see as the biggest risks to the 2024 elections from the latest development of AI and offer insights on what we may need to get ready for next year. This session will focus deeper on assessing the actual level of risk posed to democratic processes and highlight activity and initiatives already underway or being developed by industry, governments and civil society to identify and address known risks including technical solutions to identify deepfakes.
