Week 11 contribution

Can AI revive democracy or are we chasing temporary fix?

I came across this interesting article about the use of ai and new technology  potentially "fixing" our dysfunctional democracies. The author argues that modern democracies are failing due to growing inequality, polarization, and legislative gridlock. Innovators suggest solutions like AI-enhanced deliberation, citizen assemblies chosen by lottery, and structured online debates. These approaches aim to revive more inclusive, participatory decision-making, but challenges around scaling and political resistance remain. Could these technological advances really restore faith in democracy, or are they just temporary fixes?
