Digital Democracy 2030 MEETUP #3It's starting! You can watch it online! https://www.youtube.com/live/Trhk7JUASjU
nishio #DigitalDemocracy2030 meetup has begun!
hal_sk Wide hearing AI is being developed at an incredible rate.
nishio History of the development of wide hearing AI
hal_sk Various municipalities and politicians are starting to use the AI to spread the word.
hal_sk Going beyond the "tried and true" level. We want to do this with a variety of partners. I'd love to hear from anyone interested.
hal_sk followed by @blu3mo Mr. Idombata's commentary on "Idombata".
nishio Idombata's story #DigitalDemocracy2030
hal_sk Idobata is a system that brings citizens' voices to politics through deliberative discussions in large groups. Could AI and technology be used to lower costs and scale?
hal_sk Unlike "broad listening," which digests citizens' voices, AI also plays a facilitation role.
hal_sk Idobata Vision: actively gathering citizens' voices Idobata Policy: Gathering Suggestions for Policy Improvements Actual political parties are starting to use it.
hal_sk Future plans: horizontal expansion of the service to municipalities and other organizations, and development of functions to support deeper deliberations. If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you. @blu3mo up to
hal_sk Then Polymoney It started as a blur that we were filing our tax returns, but our politicians' income and expenses were not clear. The goal of the current product is to create a new communication channel by visualizing how politicians spend their money. Also, make time available for things that should be discussed
hal_sk Visualize the flow of money using a Sankey diagram. In the future, we would like to implement enhanced communication functions, certified badges, development of dedicated accounting software (Excel for now), donation functions and API, etc.
hal_sk Next, @kensuzuki looks back over the past 30 years on the Internet and politics.
hal_sk Ken created this production comparison site in 1996. The design feels itself w
nishio A policy comparison site where Ken Suzuki, 24 years old at the time? Ken Suzuki, who was 24 years old at the time, ran around and realized this policy comparison site!
healthy_sato Here is the URL for the web archive! https://web.archive.org/web/20040419201048/http://sacral.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ken/docs/politic/index.html
hal_sk Smart News and "Smooth Society and Its Enemies" were both Ken's work, but they were projects looking at different time frames: NAM generation -> Picsy, Smooth To Society.
hal_sk In 2009, the first Web Society symposium was held at the Yasuda Auditorium. At that time, the political use of the Internet was still being discussed in a positive light.
hal_sk In the decade, social networking sites became popular, bringing politics and the Internet closer together. Through a road trip in the U.S., he realized the polarization (Polarization) of American politics.
hal_sk The US has reached a phase where it will achieve its goals through political violence rather than through dialogue. Also the risk of civil war.
hal_sk Information and economics have gone global, but politics have not been updated. Global inequality has narrowed, but domestic inequality has widened. Politics becomes an outlet for anger.
hal_sk A new Cold War has begun; AI will play a key role. How we use AI will be important.
hal_sk With democracy down to the Cold War era, can Japan, a relatively undivided country, be the last bastion of democracy? The world is paying attention to us. On the other hand, Japan is also becoming permeated with a divisive virus. A scene I saw a long time ago in the US. The countdown to division has begun.
hal_sk So there it is #dd2030: In the age environment of AI and the new Cold War, we must set out how we will use AI in the right direction. Update on democracy.
hal_sk Next, Leon from Germany explains Quadratic Voting
hal_sk More than 7,000 suggestions for improvements to the manifesto have been registered through the Idobata system, with 6,991 Issues open. How should political parties narrow down the voices of the people and turn them into policies in a transparent and accountable manner? I am interested in the following.
hal_sk Previously, voting was based on people's empathy. Modeling opinions using AI (broad listening), understanding tradeoffs (idobata), is probabilistic. Voting is what gives legitimacy to decisions. Oriented towards a better way of voting.
- I see your point QV is deterministic.
hal_sk A yes/no vote is not a strong indication of intent; the Quadratic Voting method allows each intent to be reflected more proportionally by paying a cost. The Quadratic Voting method can reflect the will of each party more proportionally by paying a cost. When showing representativeness, the strength of the selection can be expressed as a spectrum.
hal_sk I actually made a tool that allows you to vote for/against each party with a QV, which requires more thought than yes/no because you have to assign points to each party. You need to think about it better than yes/no.
hal_sk Using square roots rather than adding up each individual vote allows for more inclusive decision making than simple majority voting
- He said that the story here is detailed in Beyond Collusion Resistance: Leveraging Social Information for Plural Funding and Voting.
- Co-authored by Leon and [Glen Weyl
hal_sk QV is already in use in various countries. Discussion of European political parties, Ethereum platform, GitCoin, Plurality Book editorial policy, etc. Code for Japan also uses Quadratic Funding.
hal_sk QV can be applied to a funding mechanism (Quadratic Funding). I hope you will give it a try.
