Policy Voices | AI & Democracy: Unveiling the impact in elections

With the arrival of artificial intelligence, elections are a significant area of concern. AI has the potential to supercharge the misinformation and disinformation space but as much as these fears are legitimate, the concerns appear to be overblown. Nonetheless, with the US elections less than two months away, the time is ripe for caution around the use of AI during the campaign, especially by foreign actors with malign intentions.
In the first episode of the special series of Policy Voices on AI & Democracy, host Catarina Vila Nova sits down with Rachael Dean Wilson, Managing Director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund, and Joe Elborn, Executive Director of the Evens Foundation, to unveil the impact of AI in elections. Not everything is doom and gloom as Rachael and Joe share solutions to counteract the negative effects of AI at the end of the episode.
