Eddy Nono, collaborator at the UNESCO Chair in Urban Landscape and master’s student in Environment and Sustainable Development, specialization in Planning, presented his research findings at the student colloquium of OBVIA’s Ethics, Governance and Democracy axis.
His research, entitled “Citizen participation in policies for integrating AI applied to urban mobility: the case of the Montreal metropolitan region”, highlights three key levers to strengthen citizen involvement in decision-making processes related to artificial intelligence: digital literacy, adaptation of participation formats, and inclusion of marginalized groups.
The results underline the importance of more participatory governance of AI in urban mobility and propose an inclusive governance model bringing together experts, government stakeholders, citizens, and organizations. This approach aims to promote more democratic and legitimate AI policies that are better aligned with the needs of the population.
