Abstract

Artificial intelligence isn’t a newborn child. It has been around for a long time. The concept of neural networks (widely seen as the bedrock of modern Artificial Intelligence) isn’t of recent origin either. Scientists have been working on it for decades. However, the recent breakthroughs & applications of Artificial Intelligence have raised legitimate questions & put morality at the center of the discussion. Every aspect of human life, including elections, has been put in a spot. On the one hand, this technology can positively transform the electoral process with the sheer strength of transformative abilities. However, it can also foment trouble if used negatively. One can easily see the negative potential of Artificial Intelligence in the form of deepfakes & disinformation/ misinformation. The paper tries to capture the strengths & weaknesses displayed by Artificial Intelligence in two of the world’s most prominent democracies, India & USA, that went to the polls in the same year (2024).
