Event

In a world where trust in democratic institutions is eroding and misinformation spreads faster than truth, many are turning to an unlikely hero: artificial intelligence. Can algorithms mend what politics has broken? Or are we handing the keys of democracy to machines that don’t understand human values?

Join us for an Oxford-style debate on the motion: This House believes that AI will save democracy. one team will argue in favour of the motion—defending the idea that AI can and will strengthen democracy—while the other team will argue against the motion, challenging AI’s ability to serve democratic values and warning of its risks.

In true Oxford fashion, the audience will vote before and after the debate, deciding not who is right, but who argued best and moved the room. Come ready to question, vote, and leave with a mind either changed—or sharpened.

Speakers:
Cecilia Cannon, Managing Director at PoliSync
Olivier Crochat, Executive Director of Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) / EPFL
Dawn Lui, Programme Manager (New Technologies Lead) at DCAF
Ignacio Packer, Executive Director, Caux Initiatives of Change Foundation

Moderator: Declan O’Brien, Head of Elections and Democracy Programme, Kofi Annan Foundation
