Every September 15, the world observes the International Day of Democracy, a moment to reflect on the principles that underpin democratic societies and the ongoing efforts to sustain them. In 2024, the theme is “Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Good Governance.” This year, the focus shifts to exploring how AI technologies can enhance governance and democratic processes, while addressing the ethical and practical challenges they present. UN Secretary-General António Guterres acknowledges that AI has the potential to improve public participation, promote equality, enhance security, and advance human development. However, he cautions that if AI is not properly regulated, its risks could pose significant threats to democracy, peace, and stability.
