Large generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT, have become extremely popular in just a few months making it the fastest growing online application in history. As such, they emerge as a transformative force with profound implications on democracies and civil society. Is generative AI a promise or a peril for democracies, or even for human existence?

The annual EPTA conference, hosted by this year by the Catalan Parliament/CAPCIT, will explore the social and legal challenges that generative AI poses to policymakers, civil society and regulators. The conference keynote will be delivered by Gary Marcus, professor emeritus at New York University.
