Description
"Democracy is in retreat at home and abroad. Our institutions and our politics are more broken than ever. At this delicate moment, artificial intelligence has burst onto the scene-a powerful technology that holds as much potential to bolster democracy as to harm it. But we've stopped treating democracy as a solvable problem. We've built extraordinary tools but are not yet using them where they're needed most: to fix our public institutions. Beth Simone Noveck, a global leader in democratic innovation, shows how institutions around the world are putting AI to work to strengthen democracy. Drawing on field research, real-world case studies, and decades of hands-on experience, she takes readers inside projects that reveal AI's democratic potential: European cities engaging residents in policymaking, Latin American legislatures drafting better laws, and U.S. states transforming how they deliver services. We stand at an inflection point: Will governments and companies wield AI to tighten their grip on power, or will citizens use it to repair our institutions? Noveck offers a blueprint for tipping the scales in favor of democracy. Reboot is a playbook to help organizations innovate with AI to shore up the foundations of our society"--
