@LaParticle @datagenproc @reconfigurthing @AndrewCritchPhD @UsePolis yes govtech along the lines of Community Notes & Polis is precisely what we need more of. LLMs can help quite a bit, as we show in the paper, though we need much more experimentation in settings where real important collective decisions are being made.

What does it mean for AI development to be more democratic? To find out, we partnered with @collect_intel to use @UsePolis to curate an AI constitution based on the opinions of ~1000 Americans. Then we trained a model against it using Constitutional AI.

A valuable guide based on experience for people who want more democratic and effective ways of agenda setting and decision making. Tools like @UsePolis for enabling the consideration of issues at scale can surely complement citizens assemblies.

We collaborated with @compdem to research the opportunities and risks of augmenting the Pol.is platform with language models (LMs) to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between people with diverse viewpoints.

@AnthropicAI This result holds promise to speed up the costly, manual summarization work done by facilitators and analysts for each polis conversation Now, we now need more research to evaluate the faithfulness of the summaries

@krassenstein @AlexTheStrait Yep, the check is in the system itself. We also have tertiary ways to validate that notes shown are helpful/informative to a wide range of people, which serves as another check on the system. Eg the surveys and usage metrics described in this paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15723…

@goldman @AP @CommunityNotes Bridging is a high bar, but we see notes bridge on highly polarizing topics. Elections included. Notes seem to be particularly impactful on new topics/claims/events where minds are open. It’s possible that on topics that contributors perceive as well-trodden or minds having been…
