Guidelines for political parties using generative ai

This submission offers guidelines for political parties on the ethical and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence in political campaigning and communication, directed at parties, electoral bodies, and media regulators.

The document identifies the significant risks that generative AI poses to electoral integrity, including the potential for AI-generated disinformation, synthetic media, and automated voter manipulation. It calls for transparency and accountability in how AI tools are deployed in the political sphere.

Recommended measures include mandatory disclosure of AI-generated content, internal party policies governing AI use, and collaboration between political actors and regulators to develop enforceable standards that protect democratic processes.
