Deliberative democracy is a field where technology is becoming increasingly influential. Tech(&)Democracy aims to be an opportunity—within the framework of the 2024 Digital Week— to explore the growing impact of technology on deliberative democracy and delve deeper into the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in democratic processes, highlighting both potential benefits and the associated challenges.

Drawing on the themes addressed by two European research projects, ORBIS and NEUROCLIMA, the event unfolds through three conversations involving technology and new media experts, as well as local organizations, focusing on the following topics:

CHAPTER 1.

How can technology support informed decision-making and policy-making processes?
With Marco Deseriis and Roberta Tassi

CHAPTER 2.

Citizens and technology awareness in deliberation. Towards a new digital literacy?
With Davide Leo

CHAPTER 3.

Tech-supported deliberative democracy, AI-augmented—what’s next?
With Alessandro Gandini, Maria Francesca Murru, Alice Casiraghi

The event will take place on October 14th at Viale Pasubio 5, Milan.
