- AI News Search and Opinion Formation in Germany: What People Ask, What Systems Return, and What Users Take Away
How do people in Germany use AI chatbots to follow the news, what do systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok tell them, and what do people take away? We study how people use multiple AI systems for news and political information.
- AI for Deliberation: Institutionalised, Multimodal, Gamified, Mass Democratic Deliberations
Thirteen partners in eight countries build AI tools that help governments run large public consultations online and test them in pilots, one of them on the City of Bamberg’s participation platform. My team leads the project’s review of research on AI and deliberation and surveys people in Germany on what they think of AI in public deliberation.
