New report from Tim Harper at CDT:

With over 80 countries and more than half of the world’s population going to the polls this year, 2024 represents the largest single year of global elections since the advent of the internet. It has also been dubbed the ‘First AI Election’, in light of the boom in widely accessible generative AI tools that have the potential to accelerate cybersecurity and information integrity challenges to global elections this year. . . .

Although we are halfway through this election year, it remains imperative for AI developers to quickly develop election integrity programs employing a variety of levers including policy, product, and enforcement to protect democratic elections this year and beyond.
