Генеративный ИИ в избирательных кампаниях: составление карты глобальных закономерностей
Summary
The report analyzes 215 incidents of GenAI use in 2024 elections across 50 countries, finding that 80% of these countries experienced GenAI-related incidents. The vast majority of use (90%) focused on content creation, and 69% of incidents were classified as harmful. A significant portion of GenAI content (46%) remains unattributed, while 20% is linked to foreign actors, all of whom were found to have harmful intentions. The document advocates for mandatory disclosure and transparency standards to protect electoral processes.
Key insights
- Generative AI was present in the vast majority of competitive national elections in 2024, with 80% of the 50 studied countries recording incidents. The highest volume of incidents occurred in India and the United States, with 30 incidents each.
- The primary application of GenAI in elections is the production of synthetic content, accounting for 90% of recorded incidents. This includes the creation of audio messages, images, videos, and social media posts, often used to fabricate statements or impersonate figures.
- Attribution of GenAI content is frequently impossible, with 46% of incidents having an unknown source. Among known sources, political candidates and parties were responsible for 25%, while foreign actors accounted for 20%.
- Most GenAI applications in the studied elections were harmful, with 69% of incidents classified as having a negative role. Notably, 100% of GenAI use attributed to foreign actors was intended to be harmful.
- While predominantly harmful, GenAI has been used constructively by some political parties (38% of their cases were 'useful'), such as using chatbots in Japan to engage voters or creating content in local dialects to reach underserved populations.
- The report highlights specific high-impact cases, such as in Romania, where coordinated GenAI and information campaigns contributed to the annulment of presidential election results.
