📢 Call for Papers | Augmented Democracies: AI for Civic Engagement and Democratic Decision-Making
We‘re hosting a full-day workshop at IJCAI-ECAI 2026 on 17 August (tentative date) in Bremen, Germany — and we’d love to see your work.
How can AI help us deliberate better, include more voices, and govern more fairly? This workshop brings together researchers from AI, HCI, political science, computational social science, and digital democracy practice to tackle one of democracy’s core challenges: the deliberative trilemma of broad participation, high-quality deliberation, and political equality.
We welcome submissions across four tracks:
→ AI-Mediated Deliberation & Consensus Formation
→ AI for Representation & Inclusion
→ Real-World Deliberation Platforms & Deployment
→ Democratic AI Governance & Alignment
We accept long papers (up to 7 pages) and extended abstracts (up to 2 pages) — including work in progress and position statements.
🗓 Key dates:
• Submission deadline: 1 June 2026
• Author notification: 25 June 2026
• Camera-ready: 10 July 2026
Please submit via ChairingTool: https://chairingtool.com/conferences/ijcai-aude26/main-track?role=author
