"Half the global population are voting in elections in 2024. Many already have.
This has prompted concerns about fairness and electoral integrity, particularly
with the growth of generative AI. A global tracker has identified dozens of
instances of AI-generated misinformation being used in elections so far this
year.
One such example was in January, when residents of New Hampshire received a
robocall impersonating US President Joe Biden. AI platforms such as Eleven Labs
can produce convincing reproductions of anyone’s voice. In response, the US
Federal Communications Commission effectively banned AI-generated robocalls.
However, banning AI-generated content is difficult, if not impossible. Speaking
about his concerns about misinformation and generative AI in elections, Tom
Rogers, Australia’s electoral commissioner, acknowledged the risks, but also
emphasised the importance of “prebunking” as an essential ingredient to prevent
misinformation.
So, what is prebunking and how will it help protect electoral integrity?"
