I see endless possibilities, but it's questionable if any of them are realistic before we overcome capitalism.
But one idea I really like is AI helping with the implementation of sortition for democratic decision-making in government.
Recently, the concept got some attention due to climate protesters demanding it, which I think is nice. So while I don't want to discuss the concept and where it should be applied, here's what (future) AIs could do:
Enhanced Random Selection Process: AI can ensure a representative selection from the population for sortition by analyzing demographic data and employing stratified sampling algorithms.
Personalized Education and Communication: Once participants are selected, AI could offer personalized learning paths to prepare them for their role, and adapt communication to suit each participant's unique circumstances.
Facilitating Communication and Mediation: AI can manage communication among the selected group by setting up secure environments for discussion, and serving as an impartial mediator to promote fairness and respectfulness during deliberations.
Information Provision, Fact-Checking, and Bias Detection: AI can provide relevant, unbiased information on complex topics, perform real-time fact-checking, and monitor discussions for potential biases.
Emotion and Sentiment Analysis: As discussions take place, AI could detect the emotional states and sentiments of participants, ensuring decisions are not overly influenced by emotional reactions.
Advanced Simulation and Scenario Exploration: AI could create sophisticated simulations to help participants understand potential outcomes of the policies they are considering.
Public Accountability and Feedback Collection: After decisions are made, AI can ensure transparency in decision-making by tracking and reporting the progress of the deliberations, and collecting public feedback on the decisions made.
I should probably add that this list was made with the help of GPT ๐ so a more direct answer to your question might be: AI can help humans lay out their ideas and foster discussions.
