The Digitalist Papers: Artificial Intelligence and Democracy in America

The Digitalist Papers seek to inspire a new era of governance, informed by the transformative power of technology to address the significant challenges and opportunities posed by AI and other digital technologies. The Federalist Papers, a series of essays written in the late 18th century, advocated for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and promoted the idea of a nation designed by intent rather than by accident.

This event, which will be held at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, will feature presentations and dynamic discussions with the authors - experts in economics, law, technology, management, and political science - who have contributed essays to this newly edited volume. These essays explore how the intersection of technology with each of these fields might lead to better governance.

By assembling these diverse voices and releasing these essays ahead of the November election, we aim to shift the conversation toward designing a more transparent and accountable system of governance. Our goal is to impact the development and integration of digital technologies and transform social structures for the digital age. Join us as we embark on this pivotal journey to redefine the future of governance.
