maronkouhou By the way…] The Tokyo gubernatorial election is over. Mr. Anno, who came in 5th, was the topic of discussion. Incidentally, the proposed “AI-based broad listening”, e.g., hiding comments on Github that are libelous, clustering incoming voices, etc, maronkouhou The civic engagement platformLiqlid that our company @Liquitous already provides to municipalities nationwide is actually almost the same technical platform. For those of you who sympathize with Mr. Anno, rest assured that it is actually already implemented in society! maronkouhou So, while I sympathize with some of the arguments, I wonder if technological efficiency can/should lead to time savings in the process itself, I watched with interest. The issues of democracy are not only the technology employed, but also how the process is designed, how much room there is for participation, and so on. maronkouhou From a different perspective, do we make social implementation a political agenda through political activities and campaigns? Or will it be developed as a service and solemnly implemented as a business? I would be lying if I said there was not a time when I was considering the former approach, but I am not taking that approach now. We will proceed solemnly with social implementation.
