This year, over 2 billion people will be voting in a record-breaking number of elections around the world. That’s a quarter of the global population.
It will also mark the first major electoral cycle in the era of widespread generative AI. Are governments and tech companies doing enough to combat the viral spread of disinformation?

Join the Guardian’s UK technology editor Alex Hern with an expert panel as they explore the risk that AI could seriously disrupt the democratic process.
