Yeah, we already talked to Johnson, right?

That’s true, being able to bring that context forward.

Like a democracy of conversation…

Also seems like there’s an opportunity for having the best explanations of a particular perspective best arguments or something, like make their way through discourse more and more people can easily reference what happened in the past.

Yeah, especially if any of the upcoming consultations, whatever number you said were happening this year. 34, yeah, have a bunch of past data that is relevant. This sounds like exactly the kind of situation where we would want to be applying new in person tools.

That sounds perfect.

These are the kind of questions we would want to be investigating.

Maybe we can help with that.

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Was I hearing in what you were saying an implication that there is also past data that we could perhaps summarize and make more accessible?

That was, I believe, one of the use cases where we were talking about audio being a possible input because then we can get transcripts from that, type it into Talk to the City easily, but it’s much easier for people to just speak fluently in their native language and ...

And so, I think this is a perfect place to do that experimentation and develop tools that work really well for this use case, because I think it’s a good test bed for figuring out what will work in other places, too.

So, we think that building that in the context of an application to a particular group of people or a set of discourse topics, is the best way to iterate and figure out what the best tools are going to look like. And this is, like, maybe the most exciting ...

Yeah, I can speak a little to AOI’s intentions too. So, we have this tool, Talk to the City, that we’ve built that is in use. It is a discourse analysis tool. So, it can summarize large volumes of conversation, which makes it great for soliciting input from large constituencies, ...

I’m Colleen McKenzie and also with the AI Objective Institute. And most of my focus is on Talk to the City, the project we’ve been collaborating with moda on.
