Attachment: 〔The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Election Management: Opportunities and Challenges​〕

 

Elections form the backbone of democracy, enabling citizens to choose their leaders and ensure accountability. However, as elections become more complex, so does the challenge of managing them efficiently and securely. Increasing voter participation, diverse voting methods, and demands for greater transparency necessitate enhanced election management. 

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions by improving various aspects of election management, but its integration raises both ethical and technological concerns.

 

AI presents several opportunities to streamline processes such as voter registration, increase participation, enhance accessibility, and ensure the integrity of the voting process. For instance, AI-powered systems can automate voter registration, detect duplicate entries, and filter out unqualified voters, making voter lists more accurate. AI also helps improve voter turnout by predicting participation patterns and guiding targeted outreach. Additionally, AI enables faster and more accurate vote counting, reduces human errors, and enhances transparency in the election process.

 

However, the adoption of AI in elections also introduces challenges. Bias in AI algorithms, lack of transparency, privacy concerns, and data security risks are significant issues. Without proper oversight, AI systems could unintentionally disadvantage certain demographic groups, or their decision-making processes may lack the transparency necessary to maintain public trust.

 

This article explores how AI is transforming election management, showcasing its potential to improve efficiency and fairness while highlighting the challenges that need to be addressed for its successful implementation.
