Citizen Participation in and Through AI-Enabled Innovation

Abstract

As we are witnessing one of the most interesting shifts in technology every day we can find cases where algorithms and data have improved people’s lives as well as examples where they have perpetuated bias and abuse. In light of the expanding influence of algorithms within governance structures and the imperative to provide elucidation on the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) within the public sector, this paper endeavors to scrutinize the potential for reinventing citizen engagement and participation through the integration of AI within online mass participatory platforms.
