Consultation Infrastructure

Open-source AI tools that help authorities make sense of large volumes of consultation feedback – enabling wider participation without automating democracy.

#Round 5 

Public consultations give people a voice in shaping legislation. Meaningful participation depends on authorities having the capacity to examine those contributions carefully. This project is developing open-source AI tools to help authorities make sense of large volumes of feedback and draw on the ideas, concerns and expertise people contribute. The aim is to enable wider participation through transparent, resource-efficient evaluation. Code and findings will be shared openly so others can use and improve the approach.
