Can the use of AI protect democracy?｜AIの活用で民主主義は守れるか？
https://time.com/6684266/openai-democracy-artificial-intelligence/
Timeの記事ですが、読み応えがあります 。オープンAIなどの米国のAI 研究者や起業家が、ただクールな技術に溺れているだけでなく、かなりガチ目に民主主義の問題を是正するためにどうやってAI を使うべきかを考えていることがよくわかると思います。
こうした大局的な発想こそが、新技術の社会実装には必要だし、また、その過程で、結局儲かる技術が誕生するんですよね…。
The company wanted to find out whether deliberative technologies, like Polis, could provide a path toward AI alignment upon which large swaths of the public could agree. In return, Megill might learn whether LLMs were the missing puzzle piece he was looking for to help Polis finally overcome the flaws he saw in democracy.
彼らが最も着目するのは、SNSの発展などにより社会が大きく分断されてしまっていること、そして、その分断をシステマチックに煽ることができる技術が既に登場してしまっていること、さらに、それにもかかわらず、民主主義の多数決の原理をどうやってうまく懸命に働かせることができるか、ということです。
新しいAIと古い民主主義が、どのようにして手を取り合って動いていけるのか…？まさに冒険であり、「brave new world」ですね。
This is a Time article, and it is worth reading. I think it shows that AI firms and entrepreneurs, such as Open AI, are not just drowning in cool technology, but are thinking quite hard about how AI should be used to correct the problems of democracy in the world today.
This kind of big picture thinking is what we need to implement new technologies in society, and also, in the process, it creates technologies that will be profitable as well….

Their main focus is on the fact that society has been greatly divided by the development of SNS and other factors, and that technology has already emerged that can systematically fuel even more division, and how to make the principle of democratic majority rule work well nevertheless.
How can the new AI and the old democracy work hand in hand…? It is truly an adventure and in many ways, “brave new world”.
