Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab

It was my absolute pleasure to be invited by the Council of Europe as a Keynote Speaker for this conference! I presented the results from two Deliberative exercises on AI in education I worked on at the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab. I argued for the use of more participatory & deliberative tools in the regulation of AI, by including the voices of those most affected by the technology. In the case of AI in education, that of students and teachers. Our results show that students and teachers across the US: 🤖 Already use tools like ChatGPT and similar chatbots 💻 Do not want schools to ban AI, but want clearer guidelines on how to use it 🏫 Think AI could be beneficial in education, but are also concerned about the impact it could have If you are interested in reading more, have a look at our short info sheet! https://lnkd.in/d6DamgaG Looking forward to continuing the discussion on how we can bring more citizen voices in the regulation of AI, in education, and beyond!

At the end of September, the Consulate General of Brazil in San Francisco welcomed the President of the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF), Justice Luís Roberto Barroso, and the General Attorney, Paulo Gonet , for an agenda organized by the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab in partnership with the Escola Nacional de Magistratura. Justice Barroso presented at the Hoover Institute on the Brazilian judiciary’s use of AI tools to streamline case management, monitor the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and reduce the STF's backlog—now at its lowest since 1993. He also highlighted the Brazilian electoral system as a global benchmark for security and innovation. This visit fostered dialogue on innovation’s role in public sector efficiency and reinforced Brazil's position as a leader in key areas.

Deliberative Poll: How can we feel the pulse of the country in one room? What is the method of Deliberative Polling? How can this method aim to enhance deliberative democracy? What role do citizen deliberations play both in policy-making and informing citizens? These questions and much more will be explained and discussed in the lecture “Deliberative Poll: How can we feel the pulse of the country in one room?”, on the 1st of October at 10:00h. Deliberative polling, a method pioneered by Professor James Fishkin from Stanford University, has been implemented in various countries around the world, including China, Uganda, Japan, and Texas to mention a few. In the region of the Western Balkans, this method was for the first time implemented in North Macedonia by the European Policy Institute in Skopje in cooperation with the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab in 2017.
