Upcoming Book on AI and Democracy

If you've been reading my blog, you've noticed that I have written a lot about AI and democracy, mostly with my co-author Nathan Sanders.
I am pleased to announce that we're writing a book on the topic.
This isn't a book about deep fakes, or misinformation.
This is a book about what happens when AI writes laws, adjudicates disputes, audits bureaucratic actions, assists in political strategy, and advises citizens on what candidates and issues to support.
It's a book that tries to look into what an AI-assisted democratic system might look like, and then at how to best ensure that we make use of the good parts while avoiding the bad parts.
This is what I talked about in my RSA Conference speech last month, which you can both watch and read. The book will be published by MIT Press sometime in fall 2025, with an open-access digital version available a year after that.
It's too early to share a more detailed table of contents, but I would like help thinking about titles.
Below are my current list of brainstorming ideas: both titles and subtitles.
Please mix and match, or suggest your own in the comments.
No idea is too far afield, because anything can spark more ideas.
