In this chapter, we will give a brief introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI), situate it in the wider context of Information Technology (IT), and discuss how it could affect the election process. With more and more election-related processes becoming IT and AI enabled, a natural question to ask is how advanced their AI is and if they pose risks to stakeholder trust? We will describe a framework to assess AI capability of a system that is simple to apply and communicate with technical and nontechnical stakeholders. Finally, we will relate the concepts of AI in the context of elections and discuss its implications.

Elections: The Information Technology (IT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Perspective

  • Biplav Srivastava

摘要

In this chapter, we will give a brief introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI), situate it in the wider context of Information Technology (IT), and discuss how it could affect the election process. With more and more election-related processes becoming IT and AI enabled, a natural question to ask is how advanced their AI is and if they pose risks to stakeholder trust? We will describe a framework to assess AI capability of a system that is simple to apply and communicate with technical and nontechnical stakeholders. Finally, we will relate the concepts of AI in the context of elections and discuss its implications. This chapter will, thus, help the reader understand the balance between the benefits of AI, its maturity, and how its risks can be mitigated for elections and elsewhere.
