Artificial intelligence and the future of democracy: Uni Osnabrück

Jun 3, 2025

Discussion Lecture

What happens when artificial intelligence is used to control government processes - and increasingly undermines democratic principles?

In the USA, we are already seeing the radical restructuring of the rule of law: tens of thousands of state employees have been laid off, while unelected tech billionaires like Elon Musk are taking control of political and administrative processes.

The working group "Ethics and Critical Theories of Artificial Intelligence" at Osnabrück University invites you to discuss the protection of our democracy in times of techno-authoritarian politics. Contributions from science and art shed light on the connection between AI and ultra-right-wing movements.
