I am really beyond words to be able to share with the world what @bakkermichiel, @summerfieldlab, and I and a truly world-class team @GoogleDeepMind worked on for the past 2 years. Out today in @ScienceMagazine, “AI can help humans find common ground in democratic deliberation”
Democracy relies on the free exchange of views, but scaling faces a "trilemma": it's hard to balance Participation, Deliberation, and Equality simultaneously.
In our paper, first presented at @knightcolumbia we ask: Can AI help? arxiv.org/abs/2601.05904
1/9
AI isn't a panacea, but it offers a powerful tool to navigate democratic trade-offs.
We need more work on oversight and understanding strategic behavior in AI mediated deliberation, but the path to better citizen engagement is a little more clear we hope.
8/9
A great collaboration with @georgie_a_evans , @bakkermichiel , @IasonGabriel , Sophie Bridgers, @shubadubadub , Raphael Koster, @verena_rieser, @ancadianadragan , @mattbotvinick , and @summerfieldlab 9/9

🚨 I’m hosting a Student Researcher @GoogleDeepMind!
Join us on the Autonomous Assistants team (led by @egrefen ) to explore multi-agent communication—how agents learn to interact, coordinate, and solve tasks together.
DM me for details!

New paper alert from @GoogleDeepMind! 🚨 We've put LLMs to the test as writing co-pilots – how good are they really at helping us write? LLMs are increasingly used for open-ended tasks like writing assistance, but how do we assess their effectiveness? 🤔 arxiv.org/abs/2503.19711
Going beyond demographics to model individual variation in human judgments for AI alignment. Very happy to see this great work by Taylor reach the outside!
🤔🤖Most AI systems assume there’s just one right answer—but many tasks have reasonable disagreement. How can we better model human variation? 🌍✨
We propose modeling at the individual-level using open-ended, textual value profiles! 🗣️📝

Very interesting demonstration of using AI for peace. Incredible effort
Can AI help find common ground during active, real-world conflicts?
We worked with @ALLMEP to find common ground between Israeli & Palestinian peacebuilders after Oct 7 2023 using an iterative deliberative process combining LLMs, bridging algorithms, and collective dialogues
