We are proud to support POLITICO's dedicated series on artificial intelligence (AI) and elections. As a global foundation focused on safeguarding democracy from digital threats, we recognize the significant role AI will play in shaping public debates and policy during the 2024 global elections. The rollout of AI presents challenges such as deepfakes, influence operations, and algorithmic polarization, which will require regulators and policymakers to keep up. Independent media will be crucial in charting and demystifying the impact of AI on disinformation and holding tech companies accountable. This series will explore AI's influence on disinformation in the 2024 global election cycle, with a specific focus on Europe (Germany, France, and Poland), Mexico, and the fallout from Indonesia's recent ballot. The risks of AI-fueled disinformation are pervasive, particularly in non-Western regions where social media corporations underinvest in safeguards.
Europe, with its ambition for responsible tech regulation, has a vital role to play in overseeing Big Tech corporations. However, enforcement challenges and misaligned incentives hinder regulation efforts. Furthermore, it is crucial to elevate the political importance of Europe's tech regulation to avoid bureaucratic obstacles. Protecting democracy and sovereignty over technology requires rigorous journalism, robust regulation, and a commitment to democratic oversight. Luminate sees this series as an important step towards raising awareness of the challenges we face and strengthening our collective efforts for a safer digital future.
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.
