| Beschreibung: | Artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalisation have become an integral part of public governance. While digitaltechnology is expected to enhance neutrality and accuracy in decision-making, it raises concerns about the statusof public values and democratic principles. Guided by the theoretical concepts of input, throughput and outputdemocracy, this article analyses how democratic principles have been interpreted and defended in EU policyformulations relating to digital technology over the last decade. The emergence of AI policy has changed theconditions for democratic input and throughput legitimacy, which is an expression of a shift in power and in-fluence between public and private sectors. Democratic input values in AI production are promoted by ethicalguidelines directed towards the industry, while democratic throughput, e.g., accountability and transparency,receive less attention in EU AI policy. This indicates future political implications for the ability of citizens toinfluence technological change and pass judgement on accountable actors. |
