Artificial Intelligence and Politics: Legal Dilemmas and Risks to Democracy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The rapid progress of AI has raised questions about its political, ethical, and legal impact, particularly regarding institutional transparency and citizens’ privacy. This study analyzed the implications of AI in European politics, assessing whether it enhanced democracy or fostered algorithmic manipulations contrary to ethical and legal norms. Adopting a deductive approach, it examined narratives, scenarios, and expectations about using AI in decision-making and governance mechanisms. The aim was to offer a critical perspective on the dynamics at play, highlighting the risks, opportunities, and legal protections available. The study contributed to the academic debate on AI’s ethical and regulatory implications in governance, providing insights for future regulation and public policy.
