AI poses potential threats to democratic politics by enabling sophisticated misinformation campaigns, automated bot-driven manipulation, and mass surveillance that can undermine electoral integrity and public trust. Polarization may intensify as algorithms create echo chambers. Governments and platforms must collaborate on regulations, digital literacy programs, and technological countermeasures like fact-checking AI to safeguard democratic processes. Transparency in AI deployment and protecting free expression are equally important to balance security and rights.
