The Future of Democracy: Speech, Thought, Sovereignty, and Power in the Age of Platforms and AI
The Open Markets Institute and ARTICLE 19 are convening a high-level two-day conference of leading thinkers, lawmakers, technologists, and advocates to discuss the direct and growing threats to human rights and democracy posed by today's dominant online communications platforms, the rise of AI, and interference by foreign states.
We will be joined by Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa; former Italian President Mario Monti; and former EVP of the European Commission Margrethe Vestager, among many other leading voices. Michael McGrath, the Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, will be representing the European Commission.
Join us in Brussels on October 15th at the Residence Palace and on October 16th at the European Parliament to hear some of the world's leading voices come together to discuss how to collectively understand and counter these threats. The event will also be livestreamed online.
