AI in Elections and Political Campaigning (Part 2)

This episode will focus on some of the laws that may affect the use of AI in elections and political campaigning in Malaysia or, while intended to govern these spaces, may be inadequate. The legislation we consider include the Anti Fake News Act 2018, the Penal Code, the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, The UK GDPR, Singapore's Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act and Malaysia's Elections Offences Act 1959.
