My AI Discusses Politics with Others

• Imagining a Concrete Application of Direct Democracy through Self-Expansion

  • Example experience: https://chatgpt.com/share/670e1a01-a2d4-8002-bbaa-53c7f9da9a93
    • Quite interesting (blu3mo)

• Let’s quickly put this together:

  • Users can set up their own “AI”
    • Similar to Polis, they can set answers to questions related to a theme
    • They can also write in natural language
  • The “AI” will autonomously engage in discussions with people of different perspectives
    • It might be interesting to have about three chat screens simultaneously
    • Here, it could be a “Liberal Party AI,” but maybe someone like an 81-year-old male farmer from Yamaguchi Prefecture (supporter of the Liberal Party)?
      • This could lead to actions like “imagining the other person’s perspective.”

• The essence of this is in expanding the scope of the “self”

  • Traditional digital democracy and deliberation support technologies assumed that individuals have complete control and authority
  • What is being attempted now is a mechanism where humans delegate some authority to AI
    • Similar to driving a car on autopilot
      • Essentially, the AI progresses on its own
      • If the AI does something unintended, you can take control back by steering the wheel
