Specialized
Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in Democratic Governance
Committee Profile
Artificial intelligence has rapidly become integrated into government, business, elections, and everyday life, creating both opportunities for innovation and concerns about its impact on democratic institutions. The committee will focus on issues such as AI-generated misinformation, algorithmic bias, privacy, government use of AI, labor displacement, and the accountability of technology companies. Delegates will be divided between a Regulatory Bloc, which supports stronger safeguards and oversight, and an Innovation Bloc, which emphasizes technological progress and limiting burdensome regulations. Together, delegates must determine how AI should be governed internationally while balancing public safety, democratic values, economic growth, and continued innovation.
