The US Presidential Election 2024 is proving to be one of the most unpredictable and intense in recent history. From a chaotic TV debate and an unexpected resignation to a failed assassination attempt and the emergence of a new female candidate, there is no shortage of dramatic developments.
To provide an informed perspective on these unfolding events, the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) is hosting a "CAIS Special" event featuring Christoph Bieber (CAIS), Klaus Kamps (HdM, Stuttgart), and special guest Juliane Schäuble, the US correspondent for Tagesspiegel.
The event, titled "New Realities in a Polarized America," will delve into the current state of the election campaign, examining how the nation is navigating these turbulent times just two months before election day.
Key topics to be discussed include:
• Digital Manipulation Techniques: How are deep fakes, voice cloning, and avatar candidates influencing the election campaign?
• Media Evolution: Are very large online platforms now the primary means of reaching the public, and has the era of “television politics” come to an end?
• Digital Voting Technology: Reflecting on over 20 years of the "Help America Vote Act," what is the current status and reliability of digital voting machines?
• Post-Election Regulation of AI: How might the US government respond to the challenges posed by AI in future elections?
