to Credible Elections with AI Lead Technologies
We wish to share information about a new book - PROMISE (PROMoting AI’s Safe usage for Elections) !
Technology
has always acted as an accelerator of human intent, and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is no exception. However, when AI is considered for
elections, it presents an interesting case study of what we can
collectively achieve.
Enter PROMISE – PROMoting AI’s Safe usage for Elections. It is an edited book based on four years of work that explores AI’s role in enhancing credible, data-driven electoral processes. This all started with a few of us brainstorming on how AI could make elections better that lead to academic workshops at Neurips 2021, AAAI 2023, AAAI 2024, a special issue of the AI Magazine on the topic, and a blue-sky paper at AAAI 2025. The book has contributions from over 30 authors that are drawn from academia, industry, non-profits, and government, from around the world. They bring and combine technical perspectives from the lens of computer science and AI, security, journalism, law, and political science, and consider elections in all continents - Asia (India), Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya), Europe (Estonia, UK), North America (Canada, US) and Latin America (Brazil). The book consists of a mix of article types - research papers, interviews and essays, touching on impact potentials of AI technologies like chatbots, large language models, game theory and machine learning, for voters, candidates, and election commissions, and ends with a code of ethics for those working in AI and election space using relevant guidance from computing and journalism fields. It offers practical guidelines for researchers, teachers, practitioners, students and government officials.
We hope the book energizes the technical community to make elections and democracies stronger than ever. We are immensely grateful to the contributors and publisher, as well as the co-organizers, speakers and attendees of the related events which that have helped shape the book.
Given the broad relevance of the topic, we will like to make the content easily accessible. We could not open access the book as we wanted but if someone wants an author version of a chapter, please feel free to contact them directly.
PROMISE editors,
Biplav Srivastava, Anita Nikolich, Andrea Hickerson, Tarmo Koppel
