Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing public opinion and pre-election strategies, particularly in the context of upcoming elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 2026. Experts warn that AI-generated misinformation, including manipulated videos, could play a significant role in campaigns. Ahmed Kosovac from Our Party emphasizes the need for citizens to remain vigilant against misleading content. Similarly, Ajna Katica notes the use of AI in political messaging by federal ministers. The global trend sees AI democratizing disinformation, making it easier for anyone with a smartphone to spread falsehoods. Elesa Zehndorfer highlights that AI tools favor right-wing political messages, posing risks to democratic and liberal movements. As the region grapples with the challenges of AI, regulatory discussions lag behind those in the European Union. The digital landscape has become a crucial battleground for information warfare, emphasizing the urgency for BiH to address these emerging threats.
