About Quentin Wilson
Wilson, a Distinguished Practitioner in Residence at the George Washington University’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, as well as a Senior Fellow at the Governing Institute, provides leadership, guidance and support to government, education and nonprofit sector organizations seeking to transform performance.

And you call yourself a "bit of a fabulist"! If anything, you may be understating the potential impact of AI, at least in the area of enhancing democracy and trust-building. AI's use in citizen engagement and empowerment will scale far beyond "facilitation, information gathering, consensus building and idea generation" in carefully-managed citizen assemblies.
