As the 2025 Philippine National and Local Elections draw near, the issue of regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become a hot topic among experts and policymakers. The Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) has published a reader titled “Elections and Technology” that delves into the potential impact of AI on the electoral process.
The use of AI in elections has the potential to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance transparency. However, concerns have been raised about the risks of misuse, bias, and manipulation. In response to these concerns, ANFREL is advocating for the development of regulations that will ensure the responsible and ethical use of AI in electoral processes.
The reader includes insights from experts in the field, discussing topics such as the use of AI in election campaigns, voter profiling, and the security of electronic voting systems. It also highlights case studies from other countries that have implemented AI technology in their electoral processes, showcasing both the benefits and challenges that come with it.
ANFREL emphasizes the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach in developing regulations for AI use in elections. They believe that collaboration between government agencies, election management bodies, civil society organizations, and technology experts is crucial to creating a framework that safeguards the integrity of the electoral process.
As the Philippine elections approach, the discussion around AI regulation is gaining momentum. It is crucial for policymakers to consider the potential risks and benefits of AI technology in elections and work towards developing a regulatory framework that ensures fairness, transparency, and accountability in the electoral process.@authorized Text by OpenAI
