Robert Beisler: Political simulation in the age of AI, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the age of artificial intelligence, political decision-making processes are facing an unprecedented transformation. Policy simulations, once used as tools for education and strategy development, have evolved into powerful tools that have the potential to profoundly influence realpolitik. But while these technologies offer new ways of analysing and forecasting, they also raise pressing questions: Can simulations truly capture the complexity of real-world politics? What influence do they have on democratic decision-making? And above all - do they pose a threat to democracy? In this book, the author sheds light on the fascinating but also worrying development of political simulations in the context of artificial intelligence. With a critical eye, he examines how these technologies could simplify political processes, favour technocratic solutions and place power in the hands of a small group of experts. In doing so, he highlights the risks for transparency, citizen participation and ultimately for democracy itself. Political simulation in the age of AI - a threat to democracy? is a work for anyone who wants to understand and help shape the future of politics. It analyses the opportunities and risks associated with the integration of AI into political processes and calls for the responsible use of these technologies in order to preserve democratic values.
