A kind reminder that the deadline for abstract submissions for the ECREA 
Communication & Democracy Section's off-year conference, /Automating 
Democracy: AI Use Between Social Justice and Social Control /is coming 
up on January 15, 2025. The conference will explore the transformative 
effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on democratic processes, 
focusing on two inter-related themes: AI & governance; and, AI & citizen 
participation.
We are also excited to announce our keynote speakers for the conference:

facilitating a dialogue on current practices and challenges of AI-use 
for progressive social change between civil society representatives and 
conference participants.
