2024 sees large swathes of the planet vote in elections of all types. To pick just a few, there have been elections for mayors of major UK cities and regions, there is a general election in India with results due in early June, European Union elections in the days before this event, and a US presidential election in November. A UK general election is also due by early 2025. It is enough to make even the most avid election watcher breathless. 

At all levels, these elections intersect with societies grappling with the challenges posed, and opportunities offered, by artificial intelligence. How, one might ponder, will tools that offer both great promise, but whose limitations (while clearly evolving at speed) are obvious, impact elections, and do democratic systems have sufficient guardrails? 

Drawing on expertise from journalism and academia, this event will explore this intersection and consider such questions.
