AI and Democracy: Ambassador Audrey Tang on Plurality in Practice, Transparency and Collective Intelligence

Audio Embed
What if AI could strengthen democracy instead of destabilising it?
In this opening episode, Ambassador Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s first Digital Minister and a Fellow of the Accelerator Fellowship Programme at the Institute for Ethics in AI, University of Oxford, shares a bold and hopeful vision of digital innovation shaped by the values of openness, accountability, and civic empowerment. In conversation with Dr Caroline Green, Tang reflects on her own journey from civic hacker to government minister, the role of “radical transparency” in building trust, and how plurality can serve as a design principle for both technology and democracy.
