Politico reported that artificial intelligence models tend to underperform when processing non-English languages.
National organizations and experts have expressed concern that this shortfall in AI capabilities may unintentionally disenfranchise communities relying on AI for election-related information.
The language gap in AI could create barriers for voters who use these technologies to access election content in their native languages.
Efforts to improve AI's multilingual performance are implied as necessary to ensure equitable access to election information for all voters.
