The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is raising concerns about how the technology could impact next year’s election as the start of 2024 primary voting nears. AI — advanced tech that can generate text, images and audio, and even build deepfake videos — could fuel misinformation in an already polarized political landscape and further erode voter confidence in the country’s election system. “2024 will be an AI election, much the way that 2016 or 2020 was a social media election,” said Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, interim dean at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. “We will all be learning as a society about the ways in which this is changing our politics.” Experts are sounding alarms that AI chatbots could generate misleading information for voters if they use it to get info on ballots, calendars or polling places — and also that AI could be used more nefariously, to create and disseminate misinformation and disinformation against certain candidates or issues. https://lnkd.in/gfhikexv

Elections are around the corner and the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on voter turnout is expected to be significant. The unpredictable nature of this impact makes it crucial for those involved in politics to prepare themselves for the upcoming challenges. A recent article in Time highlights the risks of AI in elections and the need for proactive measures to mitigate these risks. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/g34WNvjq.

IMPORTANT AI WARNING! From a #WIRED article published online today: "With less than a year to go before one of the most consequential elections in US history, Microsoft’s AI chatbot is responding to political queries with conspiracies, misinformation, and out-of-date or incorrect information." This situation illustrates perfectly why I told CEO Update Emerging Technology session participants on Wednesday that association boards and CEOs must work together to ensure the ethical, purposeful, and responsible adoption of generative AI technologies. Check out my recent three-part series on Generative AI Considerations for Association Boards and CEOs.

This is NOT a political post. Be aware, be informed, and be careful with what you believe this election season and beyond. In conversations and presentations this year, I have begun cautioning others that this is a legitimate concern. This is just one incident of many more to come. If it can happen in politics, it will happen in many more instances. "As a tight 2024 presidential election draws ever nearer, experts and officials are increasingly sounding the alarm about the potentially devastating power of AI deepfakes, which they fear could further corrode the country’s sense of truth and destabilize the electorate. There are signs that AI — and the fear surrounding it — is already having an impact on the race."

AI is reshaping our digital landscape in unimaginable ways - be it with AI-powered chatbots or realistic generative AI tools. Yet, with immense power comes responsibility. It's imperative to build safeguards against AI deepfakes to ensure transparency and accountability. Curious how AI could potentially influence democratic processes?

Transition from Uplift model to AI in 10 years.

Excited to share the first report I worked on at Center for Countering Digital Hate, exploring the potential harms of AI image generators. The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" has never been more relevant. Images, once seen, have a lasting impression, regardless of their authenticity. The 2024 election cycle marks a pivotal moment, being the first to have AI influence the electoral landscape. Hopefully, this report will bring attention to the fact that we need more regulation around AI and elections. It is imperative that both the developers behind AI image generators and the social media platforms hosting these images undertake significant actions to curb the dissemination of disinformation.

Our new research reveals how AI shapes election campaigns globally, from deepfakes to disinformation. Dive into our latest analysis on the the contentious role of AI in politics #AI
