From Foreign Interference to Digital Violence Against Women in Politics
A morning of talks and discussions bringing together interdisciplinary experts to better understand the impact of AI on our democracies and discuss concrete ways to address these challenges.
Please note that this event will be held in French only.
AI is transforming our democracies in profound ways, often without us realizing it. New forms of foreign interference and emerging barriers to women’s political participation, including sexually explicit deepfakes, are threatening the transparency and integrity of democratic processes. As these challenges continue to grow, they are undermining public trust in democratic institutions. Yet, we are only beginning to understand their impact.
Join leading experts to discover the latest research findings and explore practical solutions to address these challenges.
Register today. Space is limited.
This event is organized by IVADO, in collaboration with CEIMIA.
