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. Some combination of AI and augmented reality might provide both a greater sense of real, direct engagement for voters as well as better insights for government representatives and agencies.
Thanks, Quentin. I called ChatGPT "a bit of a fabulist." I certainly my hope that AI will be a helpful force in terms of citizen engagement and critical thinking.
