Public Dialogue and AI

Our work examines how public dialogue can contribute to the democratic direction of AI and to better technological and institutional choices. It asks how societal priorities can be surfaced early enough to influence research and innovation; how public perspectives can inform decisions about AI adoption; and how institutions can develop the capacity to continue listening and responding as technologies and their uses change.
