Abstract: 

Amids challenges posed to humanity by artificial intelligence disruptive developments, this work is set to engage discussants from different perspectives -encompassing scientists in different fields, governments, firms and other social actors- on the topics of artificial intelligence, governance and legitimacy. The main aim and output is to apply a dashboard for the analysis of governance and legitimacy of artificial intelligence to the case of the European Union. This Dashboard resolves disputes within the literature on political theory over classical approaches to study governance and legitimacy. The Dashboard has also the capacity to allow for comparisons in AI governance and legitimacy in different regime types -democratic and non democratic- at different government levels. An additional output is the application of the framework to the case of the European Union as a case study. This analysis is carried out by applying the framework to take a fresh look at the recent Artificial Intelligence Act data in the European Union case and showing its value as a methodological and analytical tool.
