Mini-public video series #1 | Brendan Spillane on #disinformation!

During the #minipublics, we showed videos of 4 scientists sharing knowledge on the main themes.

Brendan, PI at the VIGILANT project, says disinformation is there to raise tensions in society.

#Meta #Metaverse #AI #DeliberativeDemocracy: "LATE LAST MONTH, Meta quietly announced the results of an ambitious, near-global deliberative “democratic” process to inform decisions around the company’s responsibility for the metaverse it is creating. This was not an ordinary corporate exercise. It involved over 6,000 people who were chosen to be demographically representative across 32 countries and 19 languages. The participants spent many hours in conversation in small online group sessions and got to hear from non-Meta experts about the issues under discussion. Eighty-two percent of the participants said that they would recommend this format as a way for the company to make decisions in the future.

Meta has now publicly committed to running a similar process for generative AI, a move that aligns with the huge burst of interest in democratic innovation for governing or guiding AI systems. In doing so, Meta joins Google, DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other organizations that are starting to explore approaches based on the kind of deliberative democracy that I and others have been advocating for. (Disclosure: I am on the application advisory committee for the OpenAI Democratic inputs to AI grant.) Having seen the inside of Meta’s process, I am excited about this as a valuable proof of concept for transnational democratic governance. But for such a process to truly be democratic, participants would need greater power and agency, and the process itself would need to be more public and transparent."

How did the French and German participants describe the first #minipublic session, now 2 weeks ago? Jacques Delors Institute & Europa-Kolleg Hamburg asked, and see here the (translated) results! 🇫🇷🇩🇪

Tomorrow, it's time for their final follow-up session, where participants step into the role of #policymaker! 💪

The first wave of the #regroup #minipublics has almost finished! 🇳🇱🇩🇪🇫🇷

On Saturday, Europa-Kolleg Hamburg & Jacques Delors Institute complete their mini-public with the important #policymaking session.

In September, it's European University Institute's and Jagiellonian University's turn.

Great job, colleagues!👏

🇩🇪 #minipublic day 1 in Germany: ✔

We're looking back at another successful & lively first session, organised by Europa-Kolleg Hamburg last Saturday. Participants described it as an interesting, exciting and stimulating day! 🙌

How would they advise policy-makers for more resilient #crisisgovernance? Next week on July 8, they will move on to formulating concrete policy recommendations.

🇫🇷 #minipublic day 1 in France: ✔

The first session took place last Saturday with 16 enthusiastic participants, organised by Jacques Delors Institute!

👉 The participants got to share their experiences and opinions on issues as political trust, the role of experts, and disinformation during the #covid19pandemic.

👉 This forms the grounds for day 2 next week, where concrete policy advise will be formulated.

🇳🇱 #minipublic day 2 in NL:✅

"Constructive, interesting and concrete" is how participants describe the action-packed day, where they collaboratively managed to finish the mini-public with 7 policy recommendations for post-pandemic governance and management of knowledge in crises! 👏

Curious what their advise entails?

This fall, when all mini-publics are ready, we share the outcomes of each national mini-public in a report.

In the run-up to #minipublic day 2 in 🇳🇱, we asked WP leader @BenLeruth how he looks back at the first #regroup mini-public.

And guess what? People wanted more! Tomorrow, the Dutch participants will work on generating actual impact and dive into the role of policy-maker.

Good luck to the participants and the organising teams of all 3 mini-publics taking place tomorrow! 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱
