We are pleased to announce our support for POLITICO's coverage on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on elections. As AI becomes more influential in shaping public discourse and policies, it is crucial to distinguish genuine concerns from baseless fears. In the coming years, the widespread use of AI will present challenges for regulators and capture public attention. Independent media outlets, like this article series, will play a vital role in navigating the disruptions caused by AI, providing valuable insights into AI's impact on civic life, debunking misconceptions, and holding tech companies accountable for any negative effects. This series will primarily focus on the influence of AI on disinformation during the 2024 global elections, with particular emphasis on Europe and non-Western regions such as Germany, France, Poland, Mexico, and Indonesia. While AI-driven disinformation and manipulation of civic debates pose a global threat, non-Western regions face unique challenges. Europe, known for its leadership in tech regulation, has the potential to regulate major tech companies worldwide. However, implementing extensive regulations is complicated due to insufficient funding for regulators and regulatory bottlenecks. Increasing the political significance of European tech regulation is crucial to safeguard democratic integrity and sovereignty. To protect the empowering potential of technology and maintain strong, resilient, and open societies, principled journalism, robust regulations, and democratic oversight of technology and corporations are essential. The primary goal of this series is to raise awareness and encourage collective action in creating a secure digital future.
