AI has become a pervasive presence in society. Recent technological advances have allowed for broad deployment of AI-based systems in many different areas of social, economic, and political life. In the process, AI has had - or is expected to have - a deep effect on each area it touches. We see examples in discussions about algorithmic shaping of digital communication environments and the associated deterioration of political discourse; the flooding of the public arena with false or misleading information enabled by generative AI; the future of work and AI’s role in replacement of jobs and related automation-driven unemployment; and AI’s impact on shifting the competitive balance between autocracies and democracies. With these developments, AI has also begun to touch on the very idea and practice of democracy.
