Center for Democracy and Technology

The Center for Democracy and Technology appears in How U.S. political campaigns have used generative AI as the organization behind a report on generative AI in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Tim Harper represents the report in the Marketplace Tech interview.

The report’s role in the wiki is to move AI-election analysis away from only spectacular deepfake scenarios. Its findings connect campaign practice to AI Political Campaign Operations, state disclosure rules to AI Political Ad Disclosure Patchwork, and future voting-information threats to AI Election Misinformation Risk.

Trust in government data practices is rapidly deteriorating adds CDT through Elizabeth Laird’s discussion of nationally representative polling on federal data practices. That source extends CDT from AI-election governance into public-sector privacy, linking Federal Data Practice Trust, Public Benefits Data Chilling Effect, Enforcement Agency Data Sharing, and Government Data Accountability.
