The emergence of artificial intelligence and its power go hand in hand with growing public anxiety about job security, media literacy, and almost every sector of everyday life. According to a 2024 Pew Research Center survey, 39 percent of Americans were highly concerned that AI would be mostly used for bad purposes during the 2024 presidential campaign, with only 5 percent believing... Current public consensus reflects growing fears over AI’s role in an increasingly digitized democracy, and for good reason.
The increased use of AI-generated content and the shift of several countries including the Philippines, Myanmar, and the United States towards digital authoritarianism by embracing tools such as AI-powered mass surveillance raises the stakes... Beyond the complexities posed to the information climate, the ability for faster content creation also holds the potential to impact democratic discourse and challenge the integrity of elections. But while these concerns have merit, what’s often missing from the conversation is AI’s potential to strengthen democratic systems and practices; how local governments, consulting platforms, and civic societies are using it as a... I conducted this research as part of my internship at the National Civic League’s Center for Democratic Innovation, which looks into understanding new and improved ways to make democracy more participatory, equitable, and productive. As a political science major who also studies communication technology platforms and practices, I have always been intrigued by the ways AI has penetrated and shaped the civic space, as well as in exploring... And yet, the realm of AI itself is inherently broad, and it can be difficult to grapple how it interacts with our democratic systems without a closer inspection of specific areas and case studies.
The purpose of this article is to help readers better understand the status quo of how AI is being used in government and civic spaces and to shed light on the challenges and opportunities... My research process consisted of four primary stages. My research identified three primary areas in which AI is being increasingly used in democratic life: Nature Human Behaviour (2025)Cite this article Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of generating humanlike text and multimodal content are now widely available. Here we ask what impact this will have on the democratic process.
We consider the consequences of AI for citizens’ ability to make educated and competent choices about political representatives and issues (epistemic impacts). We explore how AI might be used to destabilize or support the mechanisms, including elections, by which democracy is implemented (material impacts). Finally, we discuss whether AI will strengthen or weaken the principles on which democracy is based (foundational impacts). The arrival of new AI systems clearly poses substantial challenges for democracy. However, we argue that AI systems also offer new opportunities to educate and learn from citizens, strengthen public discourse, help people to find common ground, and reimagine how democracies might work better.

“It can be difficult to analyze fast-moving technological developments as they are happening,” said Alan Gerber, ISPS director and Sterling Professor of Political Science. “Seulki Lee-Geiller and her distinguished guests understand these questions cut across society and do not belong to a single field of research. I am pleased that ISPS and Democratic Innovations can support efforts by Lee-Geiller and her colleagues to explore and address these emerging issues.” Daniel Schiff, an assistant professor of political science at Purdue University and co-director of the Governance and Responsible AI Lab (GRAIL), presented new research on how human resources professionals choose AI tools and what...

In one of the largest surveys to date exploring how these tools can influence voter attitudes, AI chatbots were more persuasive than traditional political campaign tools including advertisements and pamphlets, and as persuasive as...
But at least some researchers identify reasons for optimism in the way in which the AI tools shifted opinions. We have already seen that AI chatbots like ChatGPT can be highly convincing, persuading conspiracy theorists that their beliefs are incorrect and winning more support for a viewpoint when pitted against human debaters. This persuasive power has naturally led to fears that AI could place its digital thumb on the scale in consequential elections, or that bad actors could marshal these chatbots to steer users towards their... The bad news is that these fears may not be totally baseless. In a study of thousands of voters taking part in recent US, Canadian and Polish presidential elections, David Rand at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his colleagues found that AI chatbots were surprisingly...

November 6, 2023, Opinion: "Artificial Intelligence Will Change So Many
November 6, 2023, Opinion: "Artificial intelligence will change so many aspects of society, largely in ways that we cannot conceive of yet. Democracy, and the systems of governance that surround it, will be no exception. In this short essay, I want to move beyond the “AI generated disinformation” trope and speculate on some of the ways AI will change how democracy functions – in both large and sma...
