AI Chatbots
AI Chatbots and Their Impact on Election-Related Information: A Joint Study by DAI-Africa and Democracy Reporting International (DRI)

AI chatbots offer quick access to information but also risk spreading misinformation, intentionally or unintentionally. Ensuring accuracy is crucial, especially in sensitive contexts like elections, where false information can erode trust, suppress voter turnout, and heighten political tensions.

Politics in Young Digital Cities

This research aims to fill the existing gap by exploring how these factors collectively influence the political attitudes and behaviors of young Africans within the continent's evolving sociopolitical landscape.
