The Vatican News reports on discussions held during the Paris Democracy Summit, held in December 2024, regarding the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and democratic governance. The summit brought together policymakers, tech leaders, and scholars to analyze AI's role in promoting or potentially undermining democratic values. 

Key topics included the ethical use of AI in elections, combating misinformation, and ensuring transparency in AI-driven decision-making. Experts emphasized the need for regulatory frameworks that promote accountability while harnessing AI’s potential to improve governance and citizen engagement. Concerns about authoritarian misuse of AI and the importance of international cooperation in setting standards were also highlighted. This dialogue reflects growing global interest in aligning AI technologies with democratic principles to address both opportunities and risks.
