AI · Transparency

A tool for structuring, not a replacement for judgment

We don't hide what AI does and doesn't do.

What AI does

  • Clusters similar positions and arguments
    Helps editors see patterns across a large body of discussions
  • Finds duplicate and similar issues
    Suggests merging — people decide
  • Generates a summary of a topic
    A structured overview with arguments for/against and legal context
  • Identifies connections between issues
    Surfaces non-obvious overlaps by audience or data
  • Analyzes cross-state patterns
    Finds similar problems across different states

What AI doesn't do

  • Decide whether to support or reject proposals
    This is always human judgment
  • Make moderation decisions
    Moderation is for people only
  • Set the platform's agenda
    Issues are created by people, not algorithms
  • Hide uncertainty
    Every output comes with a confidence level
  • Change texts without confirmation
    All AI suggestions require manual approval

Oversight

Human oversight is mandatory

We deliberately built in points of manual confirmation wherever an AI error would be critical.

  • ✓ AI suggestions to merge issues require editor confirmation
  • ✓ AI summaries are marked with an explicit disclaimer and a confidence level
  • ✓ Users can see which elements of the page were generated by AI
  • ✓ All AI actions are logged and available for audit
  • ✓ Members can challenge an AI output through a feedback mechanism

Topic clusters

How problems are grouped

AI analyzes the entire body of issues and discussions, surfacing topic clusters,
connections between problems, and cross-state patterns.
