Description
Advanced AI systems capable of generating humanlike text and multimodal content are now widely available. This raises concerns about the impacts that generative artificial intelligence may have on democratic processes. These include epistemic impacts on citizens' ability to make informed choices, material impacts on democratic mechanisms like elections, and foundational impacts on democratic principles. While AI systems could pose significant challenges for democracy, they may also offer new opportunities to educate citizens, strengthen public discourse, help people find common ground, and reimagine how democracies might work better.
