The context of contemporary democracies began to change years ago with the exponential development of the media and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). To this was added the irruption of the Internet and, currently, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are promoting far-reaching changes in all social orders. This article starts from the question about the implications of the context marked by AI and IoT for democracy and, specifically, for the exercise of citizenship. Next, it is exposed what this new context has meant for the participation mechanisms, emphasizing the changes in the relationship between citizens and the Public Administration. To continue, the challenges that this new scenario poses for the Public Administration are analyzed. Finally, the possibility that this new context is determining the configuration of a new type of citizenship is discussed.
