Authors Richard Wilson and Clara Long argue that democratising AI requires citizens' assemblies with real influence over AI companies and policy.
They cite a Utah Common Ground forum of 38 lottery-selected residents, which backed all 10 recommendations with at least 82% support, including public hearings and independent environmental assessments for hyperscale datacentres.
The authors say the Bloom Project plans a national citizens' assembly on AI in 2028.
