Civil society organizations across multiple countries are calling for clearer accountability mechanisms in the governance of artificial intelligence systems. As AI tools become embedded in public services — from welfare distribution to predictive policing — advocacy groups argue that transparency and auditability are essential to protect civil liberties. Recent consultations between governments and non-governmental organizations have highlighted concerns regarding algorithmic bias, data privacy, and lack of explainability. Experts emphasize that opaque decision-making systems may disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Policy proposals under discussion include mandatory impact assessments, public disclosure of training data categories, and independent oversight bodies. Several countries are also exploring participatory regulatory models that include civil society representatives in advisory committees. While governments argue that innovation must not be stifled by over-regulation, advocacy groups maintain that early safeguards will prevent long-term societal harm. The debate illustrates a broader shift: AI governance is no longer a purely technical issue but a democratic concern requiring public engagement.
