As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in social, political, and economic systems, it is beginning to reshape the conditions under which democracy operates. Decisions are influenced, mediated, or made through systems that are often opaque, privately governed, and unevenly understood.

This raises a set of urgent but still largely open questions:

What happens to democracy with the influence of AI?
Where does responsibility lie in systems that are automated and hard to trace?

How can AI technology facilitate democratic participation?
How might democratic principles evolve in response?

This is a dialogue. A space to think together about:

• the relationship between AI and democratic governance

• emerging forms of power and influence

• responsibility, accountability, and legitimacy in complex systems

The event will also mark the occasion of International Day of Living Together in Peace and International Day of Light.
