"There is no real hope that electoral democracy will heal itself, but there is hope that democracy will. The best hope to cure elections’ poison is what Yale political scientist Hélène Landemore calls "open democracy". In her framing, the Athenians practiced Democracy 1.0, the American Revolution ushered in version 2.0, and we now can and should transition to open democracy, version 3.0."

I've been working on putting this together over the last month (http://connectedbydata.org/blog/2023/10/21/peoples-panel-update) and looking forward to the first meeting on Zoom with sortition-selected panel this evening, before the panel head to London next week to follow the AI Safety Summit and AI Fringe.

Join us for a 30 minute briefing on the People’s Panel on Friday 29th October at 09:30am and/or register for daily updates in Summit week One month ago, after listening to an episode of the Facilitating Public Deliberation podcast on Citizen’s Juries and the Oregon Citizens Initiative Review I put together and shared around a rough concept note to propose a deliberative citizen’s review of the upcoming AI Safety Summit and AI Fringe. The idea is simple: if the impacts of AI are going to be felt by everyone, then we need more than just industry, government or elite institutional voices to be shaping the debate.
