from Can democracy “really” be updated? - Six variations of [digital democracy
dkatsura I’m making slides for next week’s Yasuno-san and Azuma-san event - I hear the venue is already filled, so please use the delivery!
dkatsura Now that I read it again, the screen of general will that is projected in the parliament in “General Will 2.0” is broad listening itself.
6 Varieties of Digital Democracy
- direct voting type
- artificial intelligence + public deliberation type (Higashi 2011)
- mini-human type (Suzuki 2013)
- artificial intelligence + cat type (Narita 2022)
- artificial intelligence + private literature type (East 2023)
- plurality type (yasuno2024) (Wouldn’t the fusion of 2 and 3 have brought us closer to 6, but the lack of 5 has brought us closer to 4?)
