Complex Chaos thinks AI can help people find common ground

Making democratic action is not an easy thing, as the recent events have shown. Some critics may argue that technology is worse. But one startup hopes to help artificial intelligence to bridge some differences instead of expanding them.

“I had A-Ha “What if I used it as a facilitator to help people understand each other?” Told Tommy Lorsche, co -founder and CEO of Complex Chaos, told Techcrunch:

He and the co -founder Maya Ben Dror develop tools to help people reach a consensus. One of the first test cases included climate negotiations, but in reality it does not matter the issue. Its goal is to enhance cooperation and shorten the time it takes to the groups to agree.

“Everyone builds cooperation programs such as Slack and Google Docs, whatever it is,” Lorsche said. “Cooperation is a different piece.”

He said that facilitating cooperation is not a good thing. The facilitators usually spend time with groups to help them reach a consensus, but this process can slow down when negotiations or preparations occur across time areas or even in different rooms.

Lorsch was moved by LLM recently developed by the Google called The Habermas Machine, which was explicitly developed with this goal in mind. “This is essentially artificial intelligence that generates collective consensus data, as people feel represented from the point of view of the majority and the point of view,” he said.

Lorsch and Ben Dr. recently tried the startup tool to help young delegates from nine African countries prepare for climate -related negotiations on the United Nations campus in Bonn, Germany. The tool includes the Google Habermas and Chatgpt from Openai to create questions, reach the conversations goals, and help summarize long documents.

Bin Darr said that the goal is to help the delegates reach consensus as a mass before they started negotiations with others.

Ideally, the tool will help accelerate things during negotiations as well. When you face blocs, or delegates from groups of alignment countries, they faced new information in a major negotiation session, they often need to re -assemble information to process new information. Bin Darr said: “Usually the blocks are the reason that negotiations should stop. The mass must come out, re -negotiate it, put it back, and then return to it. This creates a lot of friction.” The complex chaos hopes to help its performance shortening that time.

In the trial with the delegates from African countries, the complicated chaos said that the participants had reported a 60 % decrease at the time it took coordination, and that 91 % of the participants said that the artificial intelligence tool helped them see the views that he lost otherwise.

Complex Chaos is also photographed by its companies, including technology and large consulting companies. “Strategic planning by artificial intelligence and the problem in the first place,” said Lorsche. “The annual strategic planning process for most companies takes about three months of the year with back and forth negotiations, multi -layer, through time areas, through difference, etc.”.

But Lorsesh and Bin Darr are more enthusiastic when talking about climate negotiations.

Bin Darr said: “If Amnesty International is able to shorten and simplify these operations, we will be better. Not only for the climate, for anything sustainability, for any great challenge we face.”
