  Public Square | AI and Civic Life: Who Gets a Voice?

  Aug 18, 202641 min

  Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, shaping how people learn, work, receive information, and interact with institutions. As these tools become more common in education, healthcare, government, hiring, media, and other parts of public life, they raise an important civic question: who should have a voice in how AI is used? In this Public Square, we explore how AI intersects with civic life, public trust, and citizen participation. This conversation is not about whether AI is simply “good” or “bad,” but about how citizens can stay informed and engaged as technology changes the way public decisions are made.
