The start of 2025 sees our work ramp up on the new Horizon EU Project AI4Deliberation. The project aims to deliver robust and ethical AI tools alongside detailed guidance to support governments in institutionalising, implementing, and evaluating multimodal, gamified, large-scale deliberative processes. The project’s vision is to empower governments with a well-founded and empirically validated suite of AI-enabled deliberative practices, including a comprehensive framework with practical guidelines and an AI toolkit designed to help governments create, establish, manage, and assess mass deliberations.
ARG-tech’s involvement in AI4Deliberation will build on our 15 year track record in argument mining, reason checking and public deliberation, to deliver state-of-the-art techniques for assessing, improving and facilitating large scale deliberative debates. This work will be lead by Dr. John Lawrence.
AI4Deliberation is a three-year project bringing together 12 partner institutions from 8 countries: Greece, the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Italy, and Switzerland. More information is available on the project website or on the project’s X feed.
