Elections Roundtable

In May 2024, TSF hosted a virtual roundtable about elections, mis/disinformation, and the use of technologies, bringing together more than 30 participants from academia, civil society, and the tech industry. This report provides an overview of the roundtable discussion. Key takeaways include:

• There are more similarities than differences in the way stakeholder groups think about the problem space and their individual needs, and there is a need for a shift away from apocalyptic narratives about AI;

• There is a need for data access, more transparency, capacity building and funding, and more collaboration and agreements between stakeholders;

• In order to ultimately breach the gap between these three stakeholders, it would be necessary to specifically address the solutions phase, and find ways to complement and inform the work being done by other actors in the field.
