[Air-L] New article on algorithms in facilitating online deliberation

[Nardine.Alnemr]

Hi all,
I hope you're staying safe and well.
My article on algorithmic facilitation in online deliberation has been published in Contemporary Politics. In the article I survey some of theoretical and practical blind spots in replacing human facilitators with algorithms and artificial facilitators (chatbots) in democratic citizen deliberation. The main shortcoming is that none of the designs of these democratic processes is actually democratic.

Looking forward to knowing your thoughts

Thanks
