We cannot ignore the proliferation of AI technology in our everyday lives. In our democracy, how can AI enhance our engagement in society, keep the government in check and improve the function of democratic processes? Join us as we discuss this with a spectrum of speakers, co-hosted with The UK Democracy Network.
Collective intelligence describes a form of collective decision-making, which is being increasingly enabled by technology. However, deliberative technologies are soon becoming able to not only summarise, but recommend and predict what we say; therefore blurring the lines of agency between human input and that of AI when generating collective intelligence. How can we achieve consensus decision-making enhanced by technology, that still empowers the human participant?
Flipping the script now to harness collective intelligence to govern AI itself. In collaboration with Chatham House, vTaiwan and The AI Objectives Institute, find out more about OpenAI grantee the 'Recursive Public’. Building on the idea of 'recursion', this project utilises a mix of digital and face-to-face processes to convene diverse groups from across a diversity of backgrounds.
A recent MSc graduate from the Edinburgh Futures Institute shares his findings from his master’s thesis: ‘Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Citizens’ Assemblies: benefits, concerns, and future pathways’. This research mapped out seventeen ways that AI could be used within Citizens’ Assemblies, and analysed the democratic, institutional, and ethical implications of AI integration.
Part of Oxford University's pre-incubation programme, learn how deliberAIde is integrating AI into democratic processes to encourage broader participation and more equitable decision-making through custom AI-solutions through their innovative AI Operations for Democratic Participation approach. Adapting their strategy to meet the specific needs of organisers and policymakers, concrete examples of potential AI-solution designs at different levels of sophistication and costs is showcased.
"Built to power the next generation of Democracy Tools" - in this webinar, Jeremy Evans of Embeddables traces how educational democracy tools have evolved, and failed to evolve, since the rise of social media, explores how AI changes this landscape, and describe the shifts that his organisation believes are necessary for the civic tech community to finally turn the tide.
Politicians spend millions on digital campaigns. They accumulate detailed data about voters. They harness the power of Big Tech to help them reach millions or even billions of people. Now, with generative AI openly accessible, UK political campaign spending limits raised by 80% and questionable amendments being passed through the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill - are we in a perfect storm for another Cambridge Analytica with the upcoming elections of 2024? Or is it all hype? Hear from Sam Jeffers, Co-Founder of Who Targets Me, to decide for yourself.
