• Scoping the Impact of AI in Electoral Processes

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing in the sphere of electoral administration, still its impact has yet to be fully understood. What lessons on electoral AI from the 2024 Supercycle election year can we bring into 2025? How might Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) plan to incorporate AI into their work and what consequences would this have for democracy?In this podcast episode, Juliane Müller, Associate Programme Officer at the Digitalization and Democracy Programme sits down with Prathm Juneja, PhD candidate in Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute and expert for International IDEA's AI for Electoral Actors project to answer these questions and more.This episode is the first in a series for the AI for Electoral Actors project that aims to raise AI literacy among EMBs in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Read more about the project: https://www.idea.int/project/ai-electoral-actorsBackground Reading: https://www.idea.int/publications/catalogue/artificial-intelligence-electoral-management https://www.idea.int/news/democratic-foundation-electoral-ai-1https://www.idea.int/publications/catalogue/global-digital-compact-democracyhttps://www.idea.int/publications/catalogue/codes-conduct-rise-fair-and-ethical-political-campaigning-online
