Technology can enable a bright civic future where AI tools reinforce democratic values, promote voter engagement, bridge disparate communities, and increase efficiency in government services.
But voters also face a likely future of compelling deepfakes and highly tailored false messages that can now be made at low cost, high speed, large scale. In the hands of bad actors, AI technologies can manipulate public opinion and confuse voters.
During a pivotal year of global elections, Aspen Digital is driving focus across key communities with a goal of rebuilding social trust.
The AI Elections Initiative provides strategic threat briefings and covenes top leaders to focus on actionable risks and opportunities through Inauguration Day, and beyond.
This work draws on input from more than 100 subject-matter experts and the guidance of an Advisory Council of leading thinkers and representatives across the tech community.
