UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence de la UNESCO, adopted by all Member States in November 2021, is the first global policy framework for artificial intelligence (AI) and outlines different aspects of this technology that directly impact political life. The initial considerations of the Recommendation outline the potential ramifications of AI across diverse domains, notably its implications for democracy.
The European Union is the most polyarchical political institution in the world. This complex constitutional arrangement best explains both its the unique values and difficulties. In order to properly understand the European Union and its unique model of legitimacy, accountability and democracy, it is necessary to leave the viewpoint of the nation-state, and adopt a multiple and innovative viewpoint, which encompasses heterogenous interests, focusses on shared power, shared limitation and seeks to avoid hegemonies.
In the current era of rapid technological advancements and big data evolution, one important question revolves around whether the growing development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and their penetration through our societies constitute a threat to our political systems. Are AI systems better equipped to provide unbiased solutions to political problems compared to the biased human reasoning?
Those who claim, whether with fear or with hope, that algorithmic governance can control politics or the whole political process or that artificial intelligence is capable of taking charge of or wrecking democracy, recognize that this is not yet possible with our current technological capabilities but that it could come about in the future if we had better quality data or more powerful computational tools.
Il mondo contemporaneo è complesso, stratificato, eterogeneo, plurale. Eppure gli attuali sistemi politici, anche quelli democratici, continuano a operare con gli stessi metodi uniformi e le stesse teorie semplificate, mancando di un indispensabile rinnovamento concettuale.
