AI‑Mediated Citizen Deliberation Labs

Local civic organizations can combine large social followings with lightweight AI conversation tools to run short, mixed‑partisan deliberation labs that extract citizen experience, synthesize policy proposals, and accelerate a path from online engagement to state legislation. The model pairs social reach, paid convenings of representative citizens, and AI synthesis to produce policy drafts intended for governors and legislatures. — If scalable, this creates a new, non‑institutional pipeline for turning mass online movements into concrete law, changing who sets policy agendas and how grassroots input is translated into legislation.
