In a rapidly changing world where technology continues to reshape the way we live, and with the 2024 European Parliament elections on the horizon, it is essential to reflect on the socio-political implications of Artificial Intelligence, which holds the potential to both enhance and challenge the future of our democratic processes.

Within the framework of EIF's foresight report 'The Digital World towards 2040 - challenges ahead for Europe', EIF members are invited to join the author, Ajit Jaokar, University of Oxford Visiting Fellow for AI and key Members of the European Parliament in a thought-provoking discussion on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence on governance and on the impact of technology on our society and the future of democracy.
