On 26 June 2026, re:constitution alumnae Colleen Boland and Cristina Blasi Casagran convene an interdisciplinary workshop at the Autonomous University of Barcelona which is also accessible online.
The event brings together legal scholars, policymakers, technologists, and civil society actors to critically examine how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping democratic governance across Europe. While the EU has taken a global lead with the AI Act, significant gaps remain in understanding how AI interacts with core democratic principles like the rule of law, separation of powers, political pluralism, and citizen participation. This workshop takes democracy and constitutionalism as its primary analytical lens, moving beyond purely technical or regulatory debates.
