With over four billion people being sent to the polls worldwide, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for democracies is more crucial than ever. On January 16, 2024, TU Wien Informatics invited policymakers, scientists, students, and citizens for a discussion on how AI is shaping our democratic nations. "Fostering Democracy in the Age of AI" is the first in a series of conversations of the new U.S.-Austria Citizen Dialogue organized by the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (BMEIA) and the U.S. Embassy in Austria. This bilateral initiative encourages civic engagement and brings Austria and the United States closer together in our shared values. Peter Ertl, Vice-Rector Research, Innovation, International Affairs at TU Wien, and Dean of TU Wien Informatics, Gerti Kappel, highlighted the university's dedication to democratic values in AI research and development.
