Let’s quickly create it:
- 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 user’s AI engages in discussions with people of different perspectives automatically
- It might be interesting to have around three chat screens running concurrently
- For instance, instead of a “Liberal Party AI,” maybe someone like an “81-year-old male farmer from Yamaguchi Prefecture (Liberal Party supporter)” could be more engaging?
- This could encourage the action of “imagining the other person’s standpoint.”
- Users can set up their own AI

The essence of this lies in expanding the scope of the “self”
- Traditional digital democracy and deliberation support technologies assumed that individuals have full control and authority
- What is being attempted now is a mechanism where humans delegate a small amount of authority to AI
- Similar to driving a car on autopilot
- Essentially, the AI progresses autonomously
- If the AI does something unintended, the user can take control by steering the wheel.
