This article reviews AI’s role in the 2024 global election super-cycle, emphasizing constructive applications—translation for multilingual engagement, candidate chatbots, fundraising optimization, polling with synthetic voters, and campaign content generation—alongside misuse via deepfakes, robocalls, and propaganda that showed limited measurable impact. It highlights platform content moderation efforts and a disrupted Iranian influence operation, critiques weak enforcement of political-use bans by AI providers, and concludes that AI will continue to permeate every facet of politics.
