On April 10-11, 2025, the Knight Institute will host a symposium to examine the risks that advanced artificial intelligence systems pose to democratic freedoms, to discuss sociotechnical as well as technical interventions to mitigate these risks, and to identify ways in which these systems may be employed to support democracy. The symposium, “Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Freedoms,” is a collaboration between the Knight Institute and the Institute’s Senior AI Advisor Seth Lazar. It will take place in person at Columbia University’s Lee C. Bollinger Forum and will be livestreamed.

Agenda and details to come. RSVP for updates and more information.
