Held in conjunction with PRICAI 2025 

The Democracy & AI (DemocrAI) workshop series builds on earlier initiatives such as AgentCrowd2019 (Torino, Italy) and AgentCrowd2020 (Auckland, New Zealand), which focused on agent-based crowd decision-making. Since its inception, DemocrAI has evolved into a leading venue for interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of artificial intelligence and democratic processes.

Over the years, the workshop has been hosted alongside IJCAI and PRICAI conferences in prominent international locations, including:

• 1st edition – Shanghai, China 

• 2nd edition – Macao 

• 3rd edition – Jakarta, Indonesia 

• 4th edition – Jeju Island, South Korea 

• 5th edition – Kyoto, Japan 

• 6th edition – Montreal, Canada 

DemocrAI aims to convene researchers and practitioners from machine learning, data science, social & political science, and related disciplines to explore how AI can be applied to enhance civic technologies and support democratic decision-making.

The 7th edition of DemocrAI will be held in person in conjunction with PRICAI 2025, taking place November 17–21, 2025 in Wellington, New Zealand. The program will feature invited talks, contributed paper presentations, and an interdisciplinary panel discussion.
