Researchers from Google DeepMind, in collaboration with other experts, have developed an AI system called the 'Habermas Machine' to facilitate democratic deliberation. The system, which is a large language model (LLM), has been shown to help find common ground on politically divisive issues in the UK better than human mediators, according to a new paper published in Science Magazine. The research involved a series of experiments with over 5000 participants, demonstrating the efficacy of AI-mediated deliberation.
