Why AI needs legal logic to strengthen democracy | Ina Remmers | TEDxBerlin

Over deze video

Rules are the foundation of democracy. But what happens when they become too complex for people, officials, and even institutions to apply? Drawing on her childhood in East Germany, the Dutch childcare-benefits scandal and her work with Rulemapping, Ina Remmers shows how AI can either deepen the crisis of trust in the state or help make democracy work again. Ina Remmers is an impact entrepreneur interested in how systems can strengthen social cohesion and democratic agency. She co-founded nebenan.de, Germany’s largest neighbourhood network, inspired by her own experience of growing up in small villages. Her work has been recognized by the German Startup Awards, where she was named Best Female Founder. Today, Remmers is the founder of the Rulemapping Group, where she works with her team to make laws and rules understandable, traceable and applicable for both people and machines. Her work focuses on building a citizen-focused state in which bureaucracy becomes a lever for trust, innovation, and democracy.
