The rapid growth of generative AI, which can create text, images, and video in seconds in response to prompts, has triggered fears that the new technology could be used to disrupt major elections across the world this year.

The European Parliament elections will take place on June 6–9. Its 720 lawmakers, together with EU governments, pass new EU policies and laws.

“As the election approaches, we’ll activate an Elections Operations Center to identify potential threats and put mitigations in place in real time,” said Marco Pancini, Meta’s head of EU affairs.

Meta, which currently works with 26 independent fact-checking organizations across the European Union covering 22 languages, will add three new partners in Bulgaria, France, and Slovakia, he announced.

Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, and 17 other tech companies earlier this month agreed to work together to prevent deceptive artificial intelligence content from interfering with elections across the globe this year.
