What are the impacts of AI on democracy? Should we be afraid of it or, on the contrary, is it an ally, a tool to continue building – or rebuilding – our democratic processes? What political, technological and social futures can it generate? This interactive exhibition, offered at the heart of Geneva’s democratic institutions – the City Hall – will allow you to discover the perspective of Swiss youth on these essential questions.
