Democracy & AI: Between Participation and Regulation
A Collaborative Event as Part of the Citizens’ Assembly
On July 2, 2025, the Cyber Valley Public Advisory Board cordially invites citizens from the Stuttgart region to discuss the influence of artificial intelligence on our democracy together with experts and decision-makers. Please note, this event will take place in German.

It all begins with the nine recommendations of the statewide Citizens' Council “AI and Freedom,” which propose ways for society to help shape the strong AI research taking place in Stuttgart, Tübingen, and across The Länd.
This event brings citizens, experts, and decision-makers together to discuss the opportunities and challenges of co-determination, regulation, and democratic control of AI. It is also about very practical questions: How can Stuttgart's transport system benefit from AI research - and what is your role as a Stuttgart resident?
What to expect:
-
Inspiring keynote speeches introducing the complex relationship between democracy and AI
-
Interactive discussion rounds to collaboratively develop ideas and perspectives
-
A space for constructive dialogue and the opportunity to help shape our digital future
-
Snacks and drinks included
This event is a collaboration between the Citizens’ Assembly “KI und Freiheit”, RHET AI Center, Cyber Valley Public Advisory Board (PAB), and Cyber Valley GmbH.
