Descrizione del progetto
Strumenti basati sull’intelligenza artificiale per una democrazia partecipativa e inclusiva
Le società odierne evidenziano una profonda mancanza di dialogo tra la cittadinanza e le istituzioni politiche. Il progetto ORBIS, finanziato dall’UE, affronterà il divario tra idee ambiziose e azioni collettive per consentire la transizione verso una democrazia partecipativa più inclusiva, trasparente e fiduciosa in Europa. Darà forma e sostegno a nuovi modelli democratici sviluppati attraverso processi di democrazia partecipativa. ORBIS svilupperà una soluzione digitale sostenibile utilizzando strumenti e tecnologie avanzate di intelligenza artificiale e collegando teorie e soluzioni tecnologiche provenienti dalle scienze politiche e sociali, dall’innovazione sociale, dall’intelligenza artificiale, dall’argomentazione e dalla democrazia digitale. Il progetto convaliderà i risultati attraverso sei casi d’uso che affrontano questioni contemporanee, sperimentando vari modelli di partecipazione e discussione civica e coinvolgendo le parti interessate.
Obiettivo
ORBIS addresses the disconnects between ambitious ideas and collective actions at a large socio-technical scale. It responds to the profound lack of dialogue between citizenship and policy making institutions by providing a theoretically sound and highly pragmatic socio-technical solution to enable the transition to a more inclusive, transparent and trustful Deliberative Democracy in Europe. The project shapes and supports new democratic models that are developed through deliberative democracy processes; it follows a socio-constructive approach in which deliberative democracy is not a theory which prescribes new democratic practices and models, but rather the process through which we can collectively imagine and realize them.
ORBIS provides new ways to understand and facilitate the emergence of new participatory democracy models, together with the mechanisms to scale them up and consolidate them at institutional level. It delivers: (i) a sound methodology for deliberative participation and co-creation at scale; (ii) novel AI-enhanced tools for deliberative participation across diverse settings; (iii) a novel socio-technical approach that augments the articulation between deliberative processes and representative institutions in liberal democracies; (iv) new evidence-based democratic models that emerge from the application of citizen deliberation processes; (v) demonstrated measurable impact of such innovations in real-world settings.
The project builds on cutting-edge AI tools and technologies to develop a sustainable digital solution, and bridges theories and technological solutions from the fields of political and social science, social innovation, Artificial Intelligence, argumentation and digital democracy. The achievement of the project’s goal is validated through six use cases addressing contemporary issues at different scales and settings, experimenting with different civic participation and deliberation models, and involving diverse types of stakeholders.
