Republic by Algorithm: AI governance and democratic accountability

By: Muratspahic, Imad

Republic by Algorithm is a clear, timely guide to one of the defining civic questions of our age: how can democratic societies govern artificial intelligence without surrendering accountability to opaque systems?

As governments, courts, agencies, schools, employers, and public institutions adopt algorithmic tools, citizens increasingly face decisions shaped by models they cannot see, challenge, or understand. This book explains why AI governance is not only a technical issue, but a democratic one.

Inside, readers will explore transparency, human oversight, public procurement, audit systems, automated decision-making, deepfakes, generative AI, contestability, public trust, and the institutional safeguards needed to keep technology answerable to people.

Written in a thoughtful, accessible, and human-centered style, Republic by Algorithm is for policymakers, students, civic leaders, technologists, journalists, educators, and readers who want to understand how democracies can use AI without being quietly governed by it.

A republic can use algorithms. But it must never become ruled by them.
