Keywords:
Governments now routinely use AI-based software to gather information about citizens and determine the level of privacy a person can enjoy, how far they can travel, what public benefits they may receive, and what they can and cannot say publicly. What input do citizens have in how these machines think?

In Political Automation, Eduardo Albrecht explores this question in various domains, including policing, national security, and international peacekeeping. Drawing upon interviews with rights activists, Albrecht examines popular attempts to interact with this novel form of algorithmic governance so far. He then proposes the idea of a Third House, a virtual chamber that legislates exclusively on AI in government decision-making and is based on principles of direct democracy, unlike existing upper and lower houses that are representative. Digital citizens, AI powered replicas of ourselves, would act as our personal emissaries to this Third House. An in-depth look at how political automation impacts the lives of citizens, this book addresses the challenges at the heart of automation in public policy decision-making and offers a way forward.

Recenzijas

This groundbreaking book addresses a fundamental question: Technology is redistributing power and our political institutions have not been designed to address that radical transformation. Eduardo Albrecht is one of the first thinkers to offer a practical response. A must-read for anybody interested in accountability in the age of data and AI. * Jean-Marie Guéhenno, Arnold A. Saltzman Professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) * In Political Automation, we are invited to explore the profound intersections of AI and governance. This isn't just a book; it's a catalyst for democratic engagement. As a digital anthropologist, I see it as a vital tool that arms us with the necessary insights to navigate and shape the terrain of political automation. The innovative 'Third House' concept it proposes is more than just an idea * it's a beacon for maintaining democratic integrity in our increasingly digital societies. This work doesn't only enlighten us about the expanding role of AI in decision-making; it encourages us, as readers and citizens, to actively participate in molding a future where technology and democratic values coexist harmoniously.Rahaf Harfoush, Member of France's National Digital Council, and Visiting Policy Fellow, Oxford Internet Institute * The work delves into the rapidly growing intersection of artificial intelligence and governance, arguing for innovative institutional frameworks to ensure citizen representation and oversight in the face of increasing algorithmic decision-making. The book offers an exploration of diverse global perspectives by engaging with key stakeholders in the field, while making a significant contribution by proposing concrete and daring solutions to emergent challenges. This book will appeal to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in the governance of technology and democratic theory, as well as activists and civil society organizations advocating for transparency, participation, and accountability. * Alessandro Bellantoni, Director of Policy and Partnerships, Open Government Partnership *
