IFLAPARL 2024 Annual Conference (Madrid, 17-18 October), Day Two, Fifth session: AI round table discussion. AI is reshaping democracy by enhancing political engagement, aiding debate moderation, and helping politicians understand public sentiment. It also poses risks, such as deep fakes and disinformation campaigns that undermine trust. Along with presenting the House of Commons Library’s toolkit to combat misinformation and promote reliable information, the presentation delves into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on democratic processes, highlighting its potential benefits and its significant challenges (slides presentation).
