The new Issue Brief on Freedom of Expression, Artificial Intelligence, and Elections, developed by UNESCO and UNDP, draws on the lessons learnt from the 2024 Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Freedom of Expression, Artificial Intelligence, and Elections and the ‘super election year’. This Issue Brief provides key elements on how AI influences freedom of expression in elections. It also explores how to harness the benefits of AI for the information ecosystem during elections in line with human rights while avoiding negative consequences. Finally, it shares some of the approaches that practitioners and partners have been exploring to navigate a fast-evolving context.
