How Will AI Affect the 2024 Elections? with Renee DiResta and Carl Miller

2024 will be the biggest election year in world history. Forty countries will hold national elections, with over two billion voters heading to the polls. In this episode, two experts give us a situation report on how AI will increase the risks to our elections and our democracies. 

Correction: Tristan says 2 billion people from 70 countries will be undergoing democratic elections in 2024. Seventy is accurate when non-national elections are factored in.
