    AFCO Joint public hearing with LIBE and EUDS on Democracy and elections in the AI era

    The Committee on Constitutional Affairs jointly with the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield will hold a hearing on "Democracy and elections in the AI era" on 18 March. The hearing would analyse how AI technologies are transforming the information environment surrounding European elections and democratic debate. It would examine both risks such as deepfakes, automated disinformation, micro-targeting and manipulation of voters, and positive uses of AI to detect abuse, support factchecking and improve citizens' access to quality information. The aim is to identify institutional and regulatory measures that can strengthen electoral integrity and public trust in the EU's democratic processes.
