The event will begin with welcoming remarks from Sara Cohen, Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Canada, and a presentation by Alberto Fernández Gibaja, Head of Digitalization and Democracy at International IDEA. The presentation will then be followed by a panel discussion by leading international experts from the National Democratic Institute, Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund, and Microsoft on elections and AI. Moderated by International IDEA, the panel will tackle the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that AI presents for elections and democratic governance around the world.
