Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have catapulted the use of advanced computer technologies within society at unprecedented scale. The emergence of generative AI presents a new set of challenges for county election administrators as we begin the 2024 election year. During this tabletop webinar, NACo members will hear from experts on these new challenges and how counties can be proactive in addressing them this election cycle and beyond. Speakers and webinar attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in a discussion on how AI can be of benefit to county election officials, especially smaller, often rural, election offices.
