🆕 New date: this session has been postponed to Tuesday, 8 December 2026, 17:00–20:00 — same venue (Maison de l’Avenir, rue Fendt 1, Geneva). Existing registrations remain valid.

Join us for an interactive workshop on how democracy works in the age of AI, organised by the Young AI Leaders | Geneva Hub and co-organised with Geneva Macro Labs. It addresses the topic of lethal autonomous weapons as a subject of democratic debate.

Votation 2032 – The Synthetic Campaign. The year is 2032. A Geneva cantonal initiative will go to the ballot in three months: it asks the canton to stop supporting companies that develop autonomous weapons systems. Three months of campaigning, condensed into three hours.

You play a role – the “yes” committee, the “no” committee, the authorities, the press, the public. Each group receives a mandate and limited resources, along with generative-AI tools to produce its posters and messages. So does everyone else.

Votation 2032 requires no technical knowledge and no prior opinion. Roles are assigned on the spot – you may end up defending the opposite of what you believe. The organisers take no position on the initiative: it is fictional, and it is there to be debated.
