Deliberation and AI are the hot topics in democratic innovation. But what are the practical examples of using this technology in a constructive way and how to mitigate the risks? Explore how AI agents can transform deliberative processes and governance, e.g. through more-than-human intelligences or by using AI avatars to represent groups.

This panel will give a short overview of existing tools such as Remesh, GoVocal, Talk to the City and Harmonica, and hear from people who are already using some of them: Felix from the Finnish peacebroker CMI and Antoine from Missions Publiques.

The panel will also explore how AI agents can transform deliberative processes and governance, e.g. by including more-than-human intelligences or by using AI avatars to represent groups of people.

Liz Barry and Colleen McKenzie will represent Metagov and AI Objectives Institute.
