A starting point for discussion
The idea
The paper places augmented democracy, or using technology to support democracy, within technical work on gathering ideas or work from many people and on artificial intelligence. It also draws on philosophical work that critically compares different forms of digital democracy, including augmented democracy.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The authors connect augmented democracy, or using technology to support democracy, to research on gathering ideas or work from many people and on artificial intelligence. They also describe philosophical work that critically compares different forms of digital democracy, including augmented democracy.
Why it matters
The topic concerns both how systems might be built and how different forms of digital democracy should be assessed. The passage does not settle those questions.
