Thank you for the excellent encapsulation of the AI & Democracy conference!

Honored to organize the mini-conference on AI & Democratic Governance at @ispsyale.bsky.social! This year, we explored the risks AI poses to democracy, approaches to governing it responsibly, and its potential to enhance democratic participation and representation.

Delighted to see this work published in JeDEM. It highlights governmental commitments to #opengovernment in the context of democratic evolution (2020-2022), analyzing the core principles within its policy documents across 75 @opengovpart.bsky.social countries using NLP.

I am getting so many flashbacks these days from things I have only read about in history texts.

📣Excited to participate in the timely and relevant 2025 Marc Holzer Public Performance Symposium at ASPA in DC! The schedule is finalized—join our discussions on balanced approaches to performance management in the age of emerging technologies. www.aspanet.org/Conference20...

New preprint 📄The experimental data analysis uncovers insights into how #AI-integrated policymaking reshapes public #policy evaluations, revealing nuanced dynamics. I welcome any comments and feedback to help refine this work further! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
