《講演要旨／Abstract》
The public discourse in Europe and the US predominantly interprets AI as a threat to democracy. Thinking machines may turn out to make better decisions that modern societies. This talk aims to look at the relationship between democracy and AI from a different perspective. It will discuss the potential of machine learning technology to provide us with new techno-social imaginaries that could change our understanding and expectations of democracy. The historical model for this idea is the 17th-century image of the state as a clockwork.
