Artificial intelligence is reshaping the way societies govern, communicate, and engage with information. While AI has the potential to enhance civic participation and democratic governance, it also plays a role in spreading misinformation, deepening political divides, and challenging traditional governance structures. How can we ensure that AI serves the public good rather than exacerbating societal fractures?
Join Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s first Digital Minister and current Cyber Ambassador, for a conversation on how AI and prosocial media can be leveraged to build a more transparent, accountable, and participatory digital society. Drawing from her experience pioneering Taiwan’s open-source governance model, this session will address:
- How prosocial AI can promote constructive public discourse and civic engagement.
- The ethical and political challenges of AI governance in an era of misinformation.
- Taiwan’s digital democracy strategies—what lessons can be applied globally?
As the intersection of AI, politics, and governance continues to evolve, this discussion will offer a forward-looking perspective on how we can design inclusive, ethical, and resilient digital ecosystems in an era of rapid technological change.
