– Safeguarding information integrity in the digital age;

– Ethical considerations and risks associated with AI in elections;

– Legal and regulatory frameworks; and

– Strategic planning and evaluation for Electoral Management Bodies.

The EBC’s partnership in hosting this significant regional engagement coincides with the Commission’s milestone of 50 years of administering elections in Trinidad and Tobago, underscoring its longstanding commitment to democratic governance and electoral integrity.
