OpenAI Secures AP Vote Counts to Fight AI Election Misinformation

OpenAI says it will use AP vote-count data, work with Democracy Works for voter information, offer cyber services to voting vendors, and back transparency laws to reduce AI-driven election misinformation.

Overview

  • OpenAI has signed a multi-year agreement to license the Associated Press’s elections data through the 2028 U.S. elections so its services can display AP’s live vote counts for U.S. and Brazilian races.
  • The company will partner with Democracy Works to provide accurate voter-registration details and polling-place guidance inside its products so users can find when and where to vote.
  • Reports say OpenAI is offering security tools called Codex Security and Trusted Access for Cyber to registered voting-system manufacturers and plans briefings for state election officials about its cyber capabilities.
  • OpenAI is publicly supporting U.S. legislation that would require clearer labeling or disclosure of AI-generated political content, including measures aimed at deceptive deepfakes.
  • The moves extend a prior APOpenAI licensing relationship and reflect a broader effort by AI firms to supply trusted data, technical help and policy support as chatbots play a larger role in how voters get election information.
