The year 2024 will be the biggest for elections. Two billion people in 64 countries will vote this year. That is half the global population. There will be big changes for many people. For much of 2024, eyes will be on the US. There will be a repeat of the 2020 election if Donald Trump runs again.
Journalists worry about free and fair elections. Bloomberg.com asked a commonly-asked question: "Will 2024 be the year fake news destroys democracy?" AI will be used to change the way people vote. Bloomberg said there will be "a storm of disinformation" and a lot of fake news stories.
