This report spotlights the main highlights of the first webinar organised by te Horizon Europe Project KT4D. The event explored how KT4D is connecting with its stakeholders to promote technology design that prioritises human well-being, inclusivity, ethical and democratic principles. In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data have become inseparable from our daily lives, their influence on democratic governance is profound. These technologies hold the potential to revolutionise the way societies engage in democratic processes, making governance more accessible, efficient, and responsive to people's needs. However, they also present unique challenges, including issues of bias, privacy, and transparency, which must be addressed to ensure a fair and inclusive democracy. The Knowledge Technologies for Democracy (KT4D) project recognises both the promise and the pitfalls of AI and Big Data in democratic societies. At its core, KT4D is dedicated to harnessing the power of these Knowledge Technologies in a human-centric and ethical manner, promoting technology that truly serves the interests of the people while respecting their rights and values.
