LLM Meetup Tokyo 2 LT
I've been focusing on Plurality-related matters for the past month, so I'll talk about the relationship between LLM and Plurality.
What is Plurality?
- The concept proposed by Audrey Tang, Minister of Digital Agency of Taiwan, et al.
- Concerns that linking AI to government will increase the power of government
- We need to consider using AI to make the people more powerful to balance the situation.
- This direction is called "Plurality" using "Plural (plural)" as a synonym for "Singular (singular)" in the "Singularity" that is supposed to be brought about by AI.
Technical Components of Plurality
- There are several, but it's impossible for LT to explain them all, so I'll just mention one.
- broad listening :
Enables "broad listening," where millions of people can hear the essence extracted from the distribution of opinions of their peers, enhancing democratic deliberation on a large scale.
- For example, if you have a decent discussion with 100 people on Twitter, if you wrote 1 tweet your opinion, of course you should read 99 tweets
- Are you doing this? You're not doing it.
- Why aren't we doing it? Because it's too much of a burden for flesh and blood.
- Then let's support that with digital technology!
concrete implementation
- Polis often used as a component
- Lower the burden of "listening to many people's opinions" by clustering "people with similar opinions."
- This Polis does not use LLM.
- Stanford Online Deliberation Platform is doing moderation automation.
- Natural language processing is the future
- This is an area where there could be interesting developments using LLM in the future!
Circumstances unique to Japan - Broad Listening is Important in Air-Dominated Japan
- Erin Meyer's research shows that Japanese culture is such that "it is better for everyone to build consensus than for the boss of an organization to make top-down decisions."
- Many want to "involve themselves in the decision-making process."
- But many people don't speak for themselves.
- You don't speak your mind, but you want your opinion to be taken into account.
- It's crazy!
- Need to design a system that takes care of this Japanese cultural background.
- Each person's statement is first heard by the LLM
- Anonymize and summarize it and feed it back to everyone.
- (If I had time, I wanted to get to the point where I could actually build and demonstrate it, but I couldn't make it in time.)

I'm very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
