AIM-3D Research Presented at Keeping the Republic Conference 2026
The AIM-3D team continues to share new insights into the use of artificial intelligence for understanding democratic development and decline.
On May 21, 2026, Michael Coppedge presented a poster titled “AI-based Modeling of Democratic Development and Decline (AIM-3D)” at the Keeping the Republic Conference 2026. The work was coauthored by Valentina (Valya) Kuskova, and Dmitry Zaytsev.
The presentation highlighted preliminary findings from the AIM-3D project, which applies advanced AI and machine learning methods to model the complex dynamics underlying democratic development and decline. By combining novel approaches to causal discovery, forecasting, and dynamic systems analysis, the project seeks to improve our understanding of how democratic systems evolve over time.
The conference provided an opportunity to share early results, receive valuable feedback from scholars and practitioners, and engage in discussions about the potential of AI-based modeling to address important questions in political and social science.
