WASHINGTON (Apr 9, 2024) - More than 200 civil advocacy groups have united in urging major tech companies to intensify their efforts in combating artificial intelligence-driven misinformation ahead of global elections. In a letter exclusively obtained by The Technology 202, the coalition of activists called on the CEOs of prominent tech firms, including Meta, Reddit, Google, and others, to implement more robust strategies to counter the spread of harmful political propaganda.
Highlighting the urgency of the situation, the groups emphasized the need for proactive measures in the current year, as over 60 countries are set to conduct national elections. The call to action underscores the critical role that technology companies play in safeguarding the integrity of democratic processes worldwide.
