This working group, officially launched in November 2023, creates a collaborative space for democratic actors – including representatives from civil society, academia, industry, and policy – to discuss the impacts AI will have on democracies, with a particular focus on trends in the Global South. The intent of this working group is to fill a gap in knowledge that may widen as AI continues to evolve, and to provide guidance to civil society and policymakers on how to maximize the benefits and minimize the harms of generative AI to democracy.
