As #globalDigitalCompact and #SummitOfTheFuture call for new AI policy dialogues to bridge governance gaps, we've explored the potential & practicalities of bringing citizen voices directly into these processes through models of global deliberation: connectedbydata.org/resources/glob…

Our @timdavies is in Brussels this morning to hear the results of the Belgian Citizen’s Panel on AI which has involved 60 randomly selected Belgian citizens in deliberations over three weekends in recent months, producing nine priorities for action. belgian-presidency.consilium.europa.eu/en/news/the-ci…

We've submitted a response to Interim Report of the @UnitedNations AI Advisory Body. 🔗 connectedbydata.org/resources/2024… In short: welcoming the principles of AI "governed inclusively, by and for the benefit of all" but asking where are the institutions to deliver this?

@collect_intel Thanks for openness to discussion. Let's find a time to chat. Drop me a line to tim@connectedbydata.org On other action:I'd be really interested to explore Theory of Chance exercise for some of the next steps proposed. Could workshop via open zoom call or twitter chat perhaps?

@timdavies thank you for engaging with our work and we really value the provocation. agreed we could do more to build coalitions / broaden our scope in this space. what do you think are the best immediate actions to take (or would love to chat further)

Reading @collect_intel 'A Roadmap to Democratic AI' launched yesterday. It is packed w/ 'Next step' suggestions to bring about what CIP describe as 'democratic AI': "adaptive, accountable institutions acting on decentralised information" to govern AI ecosystem for public good 1/

Perhaps there is a next step process to explore of taking the promising directions offered by the Roadmap, and inviting both additional community proposals, and, importantly, deeper elaboration on the *why*: unpacking the justifications, assumptions and theories of change.
