The Power of AI to Strengthen Civic Engagement
摘要
Many debate the benefits of using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve civic engagement and encourage more inclusive and participatory governance. This chapter explores how AI-driven platforms can be used to boost voter participation. In addition to enhancing voter engagement, AI can help counter misinformation by facilitating better communication between citizens and governments. This helps to support and sustain democratic societies. A review of existing literature highlighted the potential for AI to empower marginalized communities, bridge information gaps, and lower barriers to civic participation. However, ethical considerations such as data privacy and information bias are also addressed to ensure that AI’s role in civic engagement promotes accurate information for citizens.
