Generative AI and its Influence on South Africa's 2024 Elections

This paper explores the role of Generative AI (GenAI) in South Africa’s 2024 General Election, focusing on evidence-based findings regarding the spread and influence of AI-generated disinformation. Using a framework of proxy indicators – including the proliferation of AI-generated disinformation, foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), and shifts in public trust in government and media – the study provides a clear analysis of GenAI’s measurable impact on the election.
