Algorithmic inequality: governance, representation and rights in AI

Revista CIDOB d'Afers Internacionals nº 138

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the breakneck pace at which it is evolving present a technological, economic, social and geopolitical challenge that the major global powers are approaching from different, sometimes conflicting, strategic perspectives. We are witnessing a process of algorithmic colonisation of the public sphere and decision-making, in which democracy and AI impact each other in multiple ways.

Against this backdrop, issue 138 of Revista d’Afers Internacionals seeks to contribute to the public debate on the challenges involved in achieving a democratic AI. Drawing on specific cases, it reflects on algorithmic governance and the risks involved in an AI without guardrails. It aims to bring an original, complex and heterogeneous view to the debate on how and why we urgently need to democratise AI.
