Abstract

Automated decisions and AI systems are part of our democratic process. How does AI challenge the democratic process? What are the consequences of AI for (news) media and citizens? What are some of the regulatory challenges? This key note will provide an overview of challenges by AI to democratic processes. It will draw on recent (cross-​national) survey evidence on how citizens perceive these challenges.
