A kind reminder that the deadline for abstract submissions for the ECREA Communication & Democracy Section’s off-year conference, Automating Democracy: AI Use Between Social Justice and Social Control is coming up on January 15, 2025.
RMA students working on topics related to the conference are encouraged to submit an abstract.
The conference will explore the transformative effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on democratic processes, focusing on two inter-related themes:
- AI & governance
- AI & citizen participation
We are also excited to announce our keynote speakers for the conference:

Political Science and Public Administration, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Dr. Simone Natale, Associate Professor in Media Theory and History at the
