Are Fair Elections Possible in the Age of AI?

Wednesday 4 December

From cyber attacks to co-ordinated disinformation and AI-generated deep fakes, fair elections in Australia and around the world are facing unprecedented and complex threats.

What do we need to know to understand these challenges and address them effectively? What should citizens, journalists, policy-makers, researchers and politicians be doing to protect fair elections?

This one day workshop brings together experts from Australia and the United States to report and compare recent experiences in both countries. It will examine the capabilities of current AI systems, the dynamics of digital media platforms, and the institutional, technical and regulatory strategies that can protect elections now and in the future.

The workshop is a collaboration of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society and the University of Southern California’s Election Cybersecurity Initiative.

Full program coming soon.

This event is not part of the Electoral Regulation Forum program but is organised by a leading organisation linked to Melbourne Law School: the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S). It also takes place the day after the Forum ends.
