Contributions exploring how LLMs can spark a paradigm shift in political text analysis are especially encouraged.
NLP for detecting, understanding, and combating threats to democracy (e.g. extremism, conspiracy theories, propaganda, disinformation, human rights violations, censorship and suppression)
Studies of deliberation, persuasion, and decision-making in human-human and human-AI interactions
LLM-based systems for supporting civic engagement and democracy (e.g. systems that can provide accurate and accessible political information, facilitate meaningful cross-cutting dialogue, increase political participation, generate effective counterspeech to reduce beliefs in dangerous ideologies)
AI-generated political content and its implications for democratic processes
