Everyone’s talking about AI, but what does it truly mean for public participation? Join us to go beyond buzzwords and explore how to apply AI in your participatory programs.

We will ground our discussion in the updated launch of the People Powered Digital Participation Guide (which will build on and expand our current resources!). This practical resource helps governments and civil society organizations implement meaningful, inclusive digital participation, with and beyond AI.

In this webinar, you’ll:

• Get an early look at the new guide and its section on AI-powered participation

• Hear recent case studies from experts across sectors and regions

• Learn how to choose the right tools and platforms to meet your participation goals

• Explore both the potential and risks of AI for democratic engagement
