Overview
This is a record year for elections. With increasingly capable AI technologies being used ever-more widely, there is growing concern over just how free and secure these elections will be. From AI-enabled disinformation campaigns to enhancing the capabilities of malign hackers, fears are growing that the malicious use of AI may undermine the security and integrity of democratic electoral processes.
But how much of this fear is reality and how much is hype? How can the UK and its allies protect themselves from foreign election interference? And how can AI measures be used to protect democratic values and enhance the cyber security of elections?
Join RUSI and the University of Sussex for an in-person only panel discussion on AI, cyber security and elections.
