"Talk to the City" achieves milestone
"Talk to the City helps large groups of people coordinate by understanding each other better, faster, and in more depth."
"...an open-source AI platform that turns large-scale conversations into actionable insights while preserving individual perspectives—from local town halls to national policy discussions."
As part of our AI for public good grants, AI Objectives Institute - Talk to the city has developed a tool that ingests a large body of public comments (such as tweets or ahoc survey response) and allows for details analysis such a question and answer, and dynamic opinion grouping. This dramatically reduces the cost of, and improves the quality of surveying citizens.
They have worked with organizations like pol.is and our Internet Democracy Project to come up with platforms that can be used by many people and initiatives. Of all our AI for public good grants, we are most pleased with their collaborative intent, having both open sourced the model and its software and designed its interface and APIs for broad unrestricted usage.
They have achieved a major milestone release for public consumption after refactoring the codebase, which is now available here.
