How will the advent of AI affect democracy in the US and elsewhere? And how should democratic principles shape technologies such as AI? In this course, we will explore the potential consequences of technologies such as large language models for democratic culture and institutional stability. We will investigate whether we ought incorporate democratic values into the design of AI, to address problems such as bias and safety. We will discuss the new questions that arise as AI agents become active in society, and the consequences for employment. Finally, we will examine how or whether democracies ought govern AI and related technologies.
