With recent leaps in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), we are experiencing a seismic shift in the balance of power between people and governments, posing new challenges to democratic principles such as privacy, transparency, and non-discrimination. We know that AI will shape the political world we inhabit. But what remains uncertain is how democratic norms and institutions can shape the trajectory of AI. In the face of this changing landscape, how can civil society work to advance approaches to governing artificial intelligence that uphold democratic principles and follow democratic processes? And what can advocacy groups do to push back against the proliferation of authoritarian models of AI?Please join the International Forum for Democratic Studies for a virtual event examining challenges and opportunities for deepening democratic engagement in AI governance. Elizabeth Kerley (Forum) will share key findings from a forthcoming International Forum report, Setting Democratic Ground Rules for AI: Civil Society Strategies, which emerged from a workshop bringing together Latin American and global researchers and civil society practitioners. Natalia Carfi (Open Data Charter) will provide comments and share further insights on opportunities for promoting democratic approaches to AI. Ryan Heath (Axios) will moderate the discussion.
