At the ORBICOM annual conference in Strasbourg (September 29–October 2, 2025), Maria Zangl presented a paper entitled Inclusive AI-Enhanced Civic Engagement: Empowering Marginalized Voices through Inclusion by Design. This paper emerged from the ITHACA project and reports on findings from AI citizens’ juries in Brasov (RO) and Martin (SK) and the wishes of socially disadvantaged people regarding digital civic participation, and offers various technical considerations for the ethical implementation of AI tools as well as necessary information and explanations for users for safe and efficient use.
