contents As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly powerful and pervasive, democratic societies face unprecedented challenges in governing these technologies while preserving core democratic values and institutions. This paper presents a comprehensive framework to address the full spectrum of risks that AI poses to democratic societies. Our approach integrates multi-stakeholder participation, civil society engagement, and existing international governance frameworks while introducing novel mechanisms for risk assessment and institutional adaptation. We propose: (1) a seven-category democratic risk taxonomy extending beyond individual-level harms to capture systemic threats, (2) a stakeholder-adaptive Incident Severity Score (ISS) that incorporates diverse perspectives and context-dependent risk factors, and (3) a phased implementation strategy that acknowledges the complex institutional changes required for effective AI governance.
