Summary/Abstract: The general objective of the postdoctoral paper is to develop a multidisciplinary and cross-sectional study to highlight the role of artificial intelligence in the globalization of democracy and the opportunities offered by technological progress related to the legal phenomenon as a matter of fact. At the same time, the study includes an analysis of the risks to which enterprises and public authorities are subjected in the context of using new technologies and the impact that legal vulnerabilities may have on the calculation of management risks reported through artificial intelligence applications. This article is an integral part of the author's research in the postdoctoral program within ASE Bucharest - Faculty of Law and is focused on the fact that the collaborative economy and participatory economy are major challenges of democracy in general and participatory democracy. Following the analysis of these two concepts, we tried to emphasize the importance of digital processes in the process of globalization of democracy. The author used for this study among the usual research methods, the empirical approach corroborated with the historical approach that underlined the practical relevance of the theses proposed by well-known authors in the field. Among the results and implications, we mention the dissemination of knowledge of concepts and their analysis to the academic community and beyond, and the study can be useful in calibrating and improving management processes both in private/joint ventures and in local and central public authorities.
