AI and the Future of Citizenship: Preparing for a Digital Democracy

As artificial intelligence becomes an ever-present force in our lives, it’s clear that this technology is not going away. And as it continues to transform education, governance and civic engagement, one crucial aspect remains largely unexplored: how to develop informed, engaged citizens for a democracy shaped by artificial intelligence.

This event brings together experts in artificial intelligence, democracy building, and civic education to explore how AI intersects with the ways people learn about democracy, government and civic responsibility. They will examine the potential benefits and risks of AI in shaping how citizens understand and interact with democratic processes in the digital age, as well as the shared responsibilities of all stakeholders—including AI developers, educators, and subject matter experts—in the vital work of cultivating informed and active citizens. Please join us as our panel explores these critical issues and offers insights and practical strategies for preparing future citizens in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven world.

This program is part of Creating Citizens, the civics education initiative at Commonwealth Club World Affairs.
