About
This panel discussion, as part of the 2024 OII Elections Initiative, will examine various digital dimensions of the US elections. The event will cover a broad spectrum of digital phenomena relevant to political campaigns, voting, and US technology policy. Key topics will include the role of gender and social media in political communication, as well as the role of AI and data in political campaigns. We will examine the propositions on technology regulation and the US’s role as a leading figure in digital technologies. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.
