At the AI Action Summit, in this crucial moment where the future of artificial intelligence is being shape preservation and strengthening of democracy is not merely another topic of discussion—it is a foundational imperative that demands our collective focus and action.
Artificial intelligence and public governance are deeply intertwined. Without the active participation of stakeholder democracies will face mounting challenges, growing increasingly vulnerable in the face of rapid technological change. Conversely, without strong democratic governance, there is no assurance of creating a level playing field for innovation, effectively monitoring artificial generative intelligence, or ensuring that innovation serves the broader needs of society.
Recognizing the urgency of this pivotal moment, over 100 global leaders and organizations from diverse sectors have come together to establish the Worldwide Alliance for AI and Democracy. United in purpose, we pledge to harness AI as a powerful tool to strengthen democratic values and institutions.
