AI for Democracy Action Lab (AI-DAL)

The AI for Democracy Action Lab (AI-DAL) is a place to join together with tech innovators, legal and policy experts, software engineers, nonprofit leaders, and others to not only defend against the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) for our democracy, but seize its possibilities for strengthening self-government.

Active

This lab will have two mutually enforcing goals: incubating and accelerating development of AI-enabled civic tools, and developing policy and governance solutions that check AI-enhanced threats to democracy. We will partner with organizations that have been pioneering AI's pro-democracy applications — including key allies in state and local governments and other civil society organizations — to identify the strongest use cases for AI to advance democracy and fast track responsive product development. We will serve as a trusted, nonpartisan resource for platforms and regulators grappling with how to govern these systems in the public interest.
