Despite a robust body of academic scholarship, mainstream political discourse systematically overlooks the fundamental threat that so-called artificial intelligence (AI) poses to constitutional democracies, framing its development as an irreversible process and reducing the debate to narrow strategies of ethical mitigation. Understanding and addressing the AI-driven democratic crisis requires shifting attention from the technologies themselves to the actors who own and control them. The question this raises can be stated simply: how can citizens control the decision-making processes that affect them, when the conditions of their existence are increasingly colonized by digital powers exercised by a narrow group of globally operating tech corporations? I address this question in four successive steps. First, I outline the main features of the current model of AI development based on machine learning and reconstruct its fundamental shortcomings. Second, I set out a conception of constitutional democracy as popular self government and identify the socio cultural, epistemic, economic, and technological conditions that enabled its post war consolidation, showing how these conditions have been progressively undermined by neoliberal capitalism since the 1970s. Third, I examine how the private companies that own and control machine learning systems endanger the economic and technological foundations of constitutional democracy. Finally, I sketch several possible responses to this critical juncture, reflecting on how AI might be redesigned to safeguard the democratic constitutional project in the twenty first century.
