The 2025 Philippine National and Local Elections are approaching, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in electoral processes is a topic of concern for many. The Asian Network for Free Elections has released a reader on Elections and Technology, focusing on the regulation of AI use in these upcoming elections.
As AI technology continues to advance, there is growing interest in its application to various aspects of electoral processes. While AI has the potential to streamline and improve these processes, it also raises important ethical and security concerns that must be addressed.
The reader emphasizes the need for regulations to govern the use of AI in elections, as well as the importance of transparency and accountability in the deployment of AI technologies. It highlights the potential risks associated with AI, such as bias in decision-making algorithms, privacy violations, and the potential for election manipulation.
The Asian Network for Free Elections is calling for a comprehensive approach to regulating AI use in the 2025 Philippine National and Local Elections. This includes establishing clear guidelines for the use of AI technologies, ensuring that algorithms are transparent and accountable, and implementing safeguards to protect against manipulation and misuse.
The reader serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, election officials, and other stakeholders involved in the electoral process. By addressing these critical issues surrounding the use of AI in elections, the Asian Network for Free Elections aims to promote fair, transparent, and secure elections in the Philippines moving forward.
