Title: Extreme Democracy

Abstract:

Technological advances have changed every aspect of our lives in recent
decades, yet, for the most part, the same systems of democratic decision
making have been in place for centuries. I will argue that computer
scientists can help rethink the practice of democracy, as well as its
potential applications. I will focus on three emerging paradigms that go
far beyond your run-of-the-mill election: (i) liquid democracy, an approach
that allows voters to transitively delegate their votes; (ii) participatory
budgeting, whereby residents collectively decide how to spend their local
government's budget; and (iii) virtual democracy, which employs instant
elections among machine learning models of real voters to address the grand
AI challenge of ethical decision making.
