We aim to better understand the complexities for applying AI into the field of civic participation and stimulate new and responsible research and practices EuropeJoined February 2023
At #DemocracyAlive2025 in Brussels 🇪🇺, leaders & citizens explored how #AI can strengthen democracy.
👉 The ITHACA project is making it real: piloting AI-powered platforms in Martin 🇸🇰 & Brașov 🇷🇴 to connect #citizens with #local_governments.
The EU’s #DigitalServicesAct (#DSA) strengthens user rights & online #safety.
#ITHACA applies the same values:
✔ responsible moderation
✔ algorithmic transparency
✔ inclusive civic spaces
Democracy needs safe digital forums.
📊 84% of Europeans say #AI must be carefully managed.
@ITHACA follows EU principles for Trustworthy AI:
✔ fair
✔ #transparent
✔ inclusive
✔ accountable
Technology must earn public trust.
The EU has adopted the #AI_Act – the world’s first comprehensive AI #law.

✔ strict rules for high-risk areas
✔ requires transparency & human oversight
ITHACA applies the same values in #local_democracy.
