The relationship between artificial intelligence and democracy: A Study of Opportunities for Enhancement, Justifications for, and Undermining

Abstract

It's no secret how advanced modern technologies have become. One of the most important of these technologies is artificial intelligence, which has significantly contributed to providing numerous services that are utilized according to their intended purpose.                                 

On the political level, there is an escalating debate about the nature of the relationship between artificial intelligence technologies and democracy. Democracy, as Habermas says, “is not just a political system, but a social experience that involves continuous communication between individuals.”, If artificial intelligence is able to enhance this communication by providing accurate information and in-depth analysis, it becomes an ally of democracy. However, if it becomes a tool for isolating individuals and replacing human dialogue with rigid algorithms, it poses a threat to the essence of democracy.
