I am really beyond words to be able to share with the world what @bakkermichiel, @summerfieldlab, and I and a truly world-class team @GoogleDeepMind worked on for the past 2 years. Out today in @ScienceMagazine, โ€œAI can help humans find common ground in democratic deliberationโ€

Democracy relies on the free exchange of views, but scaling faces a "trilemma": it's hard to balance Participation, Deliberation, and Equality simultaneously. In our paper, first presented at @knightcolumbia we ask: Can AI help? arxiv.org/abs/2601.05904 1/9

AI isn't a panacea, but it offers a powerful tool to navigate democratic trade-offs. We need more work on oversight and understanding strategic behavior in AI mediated deliberation, but the path to better citizen engagement is a little more clear we hope. 8/9

Introducing: Full-Stack Alignment ๐Ÿฅž A research program dedicated to co-aligning AI systems *and* institutions with what people value. It's the most ambitious project I've ever undertaken. Here's what we're doing: ๐Ÿงต

๐Ÿšจ Iโ€™m hosting a Student Researcher @GoogleDeepMind! Join us on the Autonomous Assistants team (led by @egrefen ) to explore multi-agent communicationโ€”how agents learn to interact, coordinate, and solve tasks together. DM me for details!

New paper alert from @GoogleDeepMind! ๐Ÿšจ We've put LLMs to the test as writing co-pilots โ€“ how good are they really at helping us write? LLMs are increasingly used for open-ended tasks like writing assistance, but how do we assess their effectiveness? ๐Ÿค” arxiv.org/abs/2503.19711

Going beyond demographics to model individual variation in human judgments for AI alignment. Very happy to see this great work by Taylor reach the outside!
๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค–Most AI systems assume thereโ€™s just one right answerโ€”but many tasks have reasonable disagreement. How can we better model human variation? ๐ŸŒโœจ We propose modeling at the individual-level using open-ended, textual value profiles! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ arxiv.org/abs/2503.15484 (1/?)

Very interesting demonstration of using AI for peace. Incredible effort

Can AI help find common ground during active, real-world conflicts? We worked with @ALLMEP to find common ground between Israeli & Palestinian peacebuilders after Oct 7 2023 using an iterative deliberative process combining LLMs, bridging algorithms, and collective dialogues ๐Ÿงต

Even if youโ€™re just thinking of changing priorities, I believe you should signal.
