It may be too late to stop the great election disinformation campaigns of 2024 but we have to try

The rampant spread of disinformation threatens the integrity of elections in more than 60 countries. And we are woefully unprepared

It’s already clear that 2024 will be known as the year of the first AI elections.

Global liberal democracy faces a near-unprecedented list of digital threats in 2024 as the increasing exploitation of AI and the rampant spread of disinformation threaten the integrity of elections in more than 60 countries. And we are woefully unprepared.

Votes are scheduled in India, Mexico, and South Africa, to name but a few. A hotly contested election will be held for the European parliament in June and the US presidential elections are on the horizon in November. A general election is also due in the UK at some stage in the coming year.
