Join a panel of election tech experts as they sift through this election cycle and explain the role AI played — or didn't play — in candidates' fates. Did AI influence the election?

From targeted ads and deepfake controversies to data-driven predictions and campaign automation, our panelists will dissect the benefits and pitfalls of AI’s influence in this election cycle. They’ll also offer insights into what we can expect in future elections, considering the potential for regulatory action and new policies that could redefine how AI interacts with democracy.
