AI & Local Democracy – What Are We Talking About?
How Can Participatory Democracy Meet the Challenge(s) of Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming governance, reshaping decision-making processes, and redefining the way citizens engage with democracy. While AI holds immense potential to enhance participation, accessibility, and efficiency in governance, it also poses significant risks, including biases, transparency challenges, and external political and financial constraints on local authorities.
This webinar, organized by the International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (OIDP) and its partners, will explore the intersection of AI, participatory democracy, and human and environmental rights. As digital governance becomes a reality, we must ensure AI strengthens democracy rather than undermines it.
