The question of how societies organize themselves, how power is distributed, and how collective decisions are made-what we broadly term governance-is arguably the most enduring and fundamental of human endeavors. Throughout history, the effectiveness, fairness, and resilience of these systems have dictated the trajectory of civilizations, shaping the lives of billions. We have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the evolution of diverse political ideologies, and the persistent struggle to balance individual liberty with collective order. Today, this intricate dance of power and populace is entering a new, potentially transformative phase, driven by the accelerating pace of technological innovation, particularly in the realm of Artificial Intelligence.
