What happens to democracy with the inreased use artificial intelligence? How does it change our perception about the world around us? When we use technology to organise and understand our fellow citizens and what they are saying? When we use AI to support, replace or change democratic processes?

In this book author Sætra presents a thorough analysis of what a democracy is, and how AI is about to transform it into something else entirely. The book shows clearly how the fast-increasing use of AI in all parts of society inevitably affects democratic and political processes.

This book is an important addition to the current and future discussions about how AI should be developed and applied. Everyone with a certain interest in politics and their role as a citizen will get an increased insight into how AI affects democracy. Developers and tech firms get insights that may persuade them from the biggest pitfalls. Politicians get useful background information about using the development of technology in a way that may benefit society.
