Law Review Symposium: Defending Tomorrow's Democracy: The Future of Elections in the Era of Advanced Technology

As the 2024 election comes into view, advanced technology is
anticipated to have an unprecedented influence on voters before, during, and after they cast
their ballots. While the risks of voter suppression, election manipulation, and misinformation
predate advanced technology, a new capacity for instant generation, automation, and deception
now gives a small number of bad actors the opportunity to undermine our democracy like never
before. But as many states, federal agencies, and Congress begin to regulate, the First
Amendment may stop lawmakers in their tracks. Given the nascent stage of these technologies,
the boundaries of freedom of expression in this context remains relatively unexplored. This
symposium will reveal the who, what, when, where, and why regarding advanced technology,
election law, and the First Amendment. And as advanced technology continues to invade the
2024 election, what can we learn, who can be held responsible, and among other
takeaways, how can we prepare for its inevitable use in the future.
