AI can safeguard democracy, transparency, and inclusivity, say IE University experts

The IE University Center for the Governance of Change launches ‘Reloading Democracy’, a report that advocates for the reimagining of political systems to integrate AI, ensuring they are fit for the digital era.
According to IE University researchers, AI can become a safeguard for democracy, transparency, and inclusivity. This is one of the main conclusions of ‘Reloading Democracy’, a report developed by the IE University Center for the Governance of Change (CGC), within its AI4Democracy initiative. This report, authored by Primavera de Filippi, Research Director at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, advocates for the reimagining of political systems to integrate AI, ensuring they are fit for the digital era.
This report sheds light on a theme which is at the center of a global debate: how AI can both act as the poison and the antidote for democracy. As geopolitical tensions, economic instability, and social inequality continue to shape the future, the World Economic Forum's latest Global Risk Report highlights growing threats around the world and calls for urgent measures to preserve democratic values amid growing complexity and rapid technological change, including AI as a transformative force in governance and society. The European Parliament’s new study “Ten issues to watch in 2025” reinforces this view, emphasizing responsible AI development to foster public trust and protect fundamental rights.
