The Four Freedoms
Freedom to Inspect or view Freedom to use
Freedom to modify Economic Freedom

Rebuilding trust in government with responsible AI
•A 2023 IBM Institute for Business Value survey found that respondents believe government
leaders often overestimate the public’s trust in them. They also found that, while the public
is still wary about new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), most people are in favor
of government adoption of generative AI
•Trust in federal and central governments has declined most since the start of the
pandemic, with 39% of respondents indicating that their level of trust in their country’s
government organizations is very low or extremely low, compared to 29% prior to the
pandemic
“Ensuring the safe and ethical integration of AI into our societies and the
global economy will be one of the greatest challenges and opportunities for
governments over the next quarter century.”
David Zaharchuck, Research Director
Institute for Business Value, IBM

Recent trends in Artificial Intelligence - Closed or Open?
“The future of AI is open — no matter what some say.”
Dario Gill, SVP and Director of Research, IBM

AI competitors collaborate to form security initiative

AI’s future is open and democracy could benefit
•Enhancing Access to Information
•Personalized News & Fact-Checking
•Promoting Civic Engagement
•Better Digital Platforms for Participation
•Strengthening Electoral Integrity
•Voter Assistance & Fraud Detection
•Supporting Transparent Governance
•Data Analysis for Policy Making

In closing
Open Source Software = Developer Freedom
True Open Source AI = Consumer Freedom
Can Open Source AI = Democracy Freedom?
While AI can support better democracy, it also poses risks if misused, such as
surveillance, bias, deepfakes, and manipulation. Ensuring ethical AI
development, transparency in AI algorithms, and robust legal frameworks are
crucial to leveraging AI for democratic growth while mitigating potential harms

E-contact Facilitated by Conversational AI Agents Reduces
Interethnic Prejudice and Anxiety in Afghanistan
Background
•Ethnic tensions in Afghanistan have a long history, worsened by
the fall of the government in 2021.
•Traditional interactions were challenging; we explored E-contact
as an alternative.
•Unsupervised E-contact can escalate anxiety and stereotypes.
•Finding trustworthy human mediators is difficult; our solution:
using conversational AI.
Hypothesis
•Intergroup/ethnic discussions in online platforms, which are
facilitated by Conversation AI agent are more likely to reduce
prejudice than unfacilitated online discussions.
Methods
•128 Afghans of Pashtun, Tajik and Hazara backgrounds were
randomly assigned to one of two e-contact conditions.
•Measures of intergroup prejudice and anxiety were taken at three
time points.
Results
•Participants in the groups facilitated by AI agent contributed more
ideas and longer opinions and showed a statistically significant
reduction in outgroup prejudice and anxietythan those in the
control group.

Science bridges.
What are some efforts to develop current benefits and limit risks to maximize the benefits of future
AI for our democracy?
•At the first session, we captured the rough bird’s eye view map of the benefits and risks for
of the AI for our democracy, with some examples.
•The activities we are expecting can be categorized into 4 quadrants:
1.Countermeasures on the risks of present AI.
2.Developments of benefits of present AI for realizing future democracy.
3.Countermeasures on the risks of future AI.
4.Developments of benefits of future AI realizing future democracy.
•At the second session, we will discuss the major challenges we are going to face when we
utilize AI exploring the democratic opportunity throughout the 4 quadrants.
•The major challenges identified at the second session will direct the third session to discuss
the theme of research, development and funding priorities. We also will discuss and propose
institutional design of our future society at the third session.

Summary of the
past discussions

The session design 9
Science bridges.
Giselle-san will provide a keynote speech.
She will be about how user inclusiveness is important to provide emerging technologies (like AI) as a service. The positives that can be gained from inclusiveness are huge and it must be one of the important issues we are going to face.
I think the team science Jim mentioned looks one of the very important research issues in this context.
I try to consider the following panel discussions should be consisted of the mixture of user perspective and provider perspective.
I will ask Ito-sensei whether he could provide very concrete example based on their experience in Afghanistan and their positive insights in future democracy utilizing AI. (to be confirmed)
Lee-san will provide social challenges to utilize emerging AI with providing some facts. (to be confirmed)
Jeffrey-san will provide secure and practical approach to utilize open-source resources and the implications in AI services, what kind of efforts will be necessary to make the service more democratic.
Ignacio-san will provide political perspective based on the historical view of European policy and his insights in AI power on that. (to be confirmed)
From the moderation perspective, integration of the insights provided by the panelists will be very important, in order to connect the third discussion in September.
