Join us for an in-depth series about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can impact elections and our democracy. AI has emerged as a rapidly evolving force influencing the way we live, work, and interact. As with any new technology, AI brings opportunities as well as risks to our society. ChatGPT and other AI tools are now available for anyone to create fake images, videos and audio in easier and faster ways. AI-generated content is also showing up in political campaigns. It has become increasingly difficult for voters to discern what information we can trust.
Let’s take a deep dive into AI and prepare ourselves for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election. In this series, we will:
- explore AI’s capabilities and the risks that AI can pose to elections and voting
- learn how to identify misinformation and disinformation, and some practical tools for fact-checking
- explore what can be done to create a safe and ethical framework for AI, and recent policy updates at the state, federal and international level
