AI and Your Electoral Fortune
Lok Sabha Elections, 2024
What is ‘AI and Your Electoral Fortune’ ?
Institute for Governance, Policies and Politics (IGPP) launched an initiative ‘AI and Your Electoral Fortune,’ aimed at unraveling the intricate relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and electoral processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays in shaping electoral outcomes and political campaigns. As technology continues to evolve, AI has emerged as an indispensable tool for political strategists, candidates, and parties. However, it is crucial to grasp both the potentials and potential harms associated with its integration into the electoral process.
What sets ‘AI and Your Electoral Fortune’ apart is its mission to enlighten Lok Sabha contestants about the dynamic impact of AI on elections and political campaigns.
In an era where technology reigns supreme, understanding the nuances of AI is no longer a luxury but a necessity for every aspiring leader. By facilitating discussions, providing insights, and offering guidance on best practices, we aim to empower candidates to make informed decisions about incorporating AI into their electoral strategies. It is imperative to highlight the importance of utilising technology responsibly in this election season, ensuring it benefits society and aids in reaching out to voters without fostering confusion, chaos, or mistrust.
Stages of the Programme
Short Video : Our journey begins with a compelling short video that serves as a primer for Lok Sabha contestants. It introduces them to the realm of AI in elections, emphasising the need to comprehend its influence on electoral outcomes and campaign strategies.
Virtual Sessions : IGPP leaves no stone unturned in its quest to foster awareness. We conduct virtual sessions with candidates from diverse political backgrounds, providing them with invaluable insights into the positive applications of AI, as well as cautionary tales of its potential misuse. Our research team engages candidates in interactive discussions, utilising real-world examples to illustrate the transformative power of AI in electoral dynamics. Furthermore, the sessions incorporated excerpts of insights from esteemed experts in the field of AI. Notably, Mr. Jaspreet Bindra, the Founder and Managing Director of The Tech Whisperer, and Advocate N.S. Nappinai, a Senior Advocate at the Supreme Court, were graciously invited to impart their perspectives on the intersection of AI and Elections.
In-Person Engagements : Beyond the virtual realm, IGPP also engages in face-to-face interactions with candidates. We facilitate in-person engagements, enabling candidates to deepen their understanding into the nuances of AI and its implications for democracy. These sessions serve as forums for candid discussions and knowledge exchange, empowering candidates to navigate the complex intersection of technology and politics with confidence.
