Talk about applying for OpenAI's "Democratic inputs to AI".
OpenAI "supports experiments to improve democratic processes."
Total $1,000,000.00 ...... One hundred and ten thousand yen?
Objective of "Democratic Input to AI".
AI has far-reaching economic and social implications
It is not right that decision-making of "what AI should be" is done by "a few people" such as the management of a for-profit company. Support experimental projects to take the first steps in this direction
Sounds really interesting, doesn't it?/nishio/nishio.icon
It would be interesting to participate in "an attempt for the future of AI" that OpenAI is flagging! Applied!!!!!!!!
We'll know the results on 7/15.
Normally we don't talk about this kind of thing in the undecided stage, but as we started planning the project, the project members themselves started to get excited and said, "It's interesting, so let's do it regardless of whether it's accepted or not. We are already active and accepting applications for participation in the project.
Things you must do if adopted.
requirement
Over 500 people will participate in the experiment.
A report on the findings from the experiment will be published on 10/20.
This requirement of "more than 500 participants" seems difficult...?
Here's the Code for Japan story
Code for Japan is a general incorporated association established in 2014
Code for Japan's Objective: To improve public services through citizen participation processes and contribute to society through better government and local government. Participatory Democracy Platform Decidim in Japan from 2020 I applied for this project as a Code for Japan project.
Mr. Haruyuki Seki, the president of the board, is one of the members. Five hundred? That won't be a problem!"
Code for Japan will do the contract with OpenAI, etc. as a legal entity.
(It would be great if a corporate entity with a track record of activities could act in such cases, as it would make things much easier/nishio/nishio.icon)
The feasibility of this process has increased dramatically!
Project Structure.
A little "pizza" parable before going into the details
Once you have a "pizza base," you can add various "toppings" on top of it.
The minimal execution of the project is ensured by the pizza's base, which allows for individual experimentation in toppings.
Toppings can be tried and tested as you like, and only the ones that work should be released in the end.
I think everyone here is capable of making unique toppings.
What is a "democratic process?"
(B) Through a transparent [decision-making process
(c) It means the process that ultimately determines the outcome.
Voting without good debate is not a democratic process.
How to make it? That's where sci-fi prototyping comes in...
But prototyping with software is something only software engineers can participate in.
So we need prototyping to create a story of the future in Japanese, this is SF prototyping.
This is the basis for discussing how we can make a better future.

Polis-like system.
Polis is mentioned by OpenAI itself in the grant commentary, and as an example, a Polis-inspired system is presented, which is an important elemental technology in this field. There was a preprint from the joint team of Anthropic and Polis the other day that you might want to read. Polis is a system for visualization and clustering of "voting matrices" created by multiple people answering multiple questions with Yes/No answers. https://scrapbox.io/files/64a1c2e1128d84001bd26066.png
Multiple people answer multiple questions to obtain a "distribution of people's subjectivity"
Repeat SF prototyping and Polis-like system.

Gathering and visualizing reader feedback on stories generates new ideas and creates new stories
All of these things accumulated and as a result...
AI can be created using a dataset of thoughts and emotions of Japanese speakers.
This AI will be available worldwide, allowing people to speak in their own languages
Many people may associate the term "Japanese culture" with classical culture, but the first thing I want you to imagine is...
No one in Japan has ever heard of Doraemon, and the recognition of Doraemon is spreading quite well around the world.
The antithesis of the Hollywood-style "AI trying to destroy humanity" story
Those who envision a bad future based on the "AI trying to destroy humanity" storyline try to create legally binding regulations on AI.
Another keyword that came up from the project participants: the
A human-made tool, after long use, becomes a soul and eventually becomes god. Future image of LLM becoming wise and personable.
People in monotheistic cultures recoil at the idea of calling it "God."
The Japanese concept of "God" is quite different from that of monotheistic religions.
Japan has only 1% Christianity, while the U.S. has almost 70%.
AI is a tool, an argument that should be regulated to prevent it from acquiring capabilities comparable to humans.
God made man.
God is a higher being than man.
Man created AI.
You think AI could rival humans?
"The created can line up with the Creator" would be a challenge to the concept of "God is a higher being than man," irreverence!
Man has done God's work of "making man."
It is ethically undesirable, as is the cloning of human beings!
Action is needed to help the people of the world understand the concept of doraemon and attached mourning gods.
It may seem like a pipe dream, but it is highly technically feasible.
First, they use Scrapbox as a "place for communication".
Anything can be written here, including generated stories, impressions, and other ramblings.
Realized implementations
Export data from Scrapbox once a day with Github Actions
Divided into chunks of 500 tokens and vector embedded with OpenAI Embedding API and stored in Qdrant
Now we just need to create a connection between the English UI and the ChatGPT API, and we will have a Minimum Viable Product that can be released to the world. Interesting points unlike a mere natural language corpus
https://scrapbox.io/files/64a1d12aa415f7001b913af4.png
From the Polis-like system we can get the data "37% agree with this question, 37% disagree, 25% abstain". Data on "the subjective distribution of a large number of people."
Since natural language sentences are paired with quantitative data, by hooking the first half of the sentence with a vector search and loading the quantitative data into the prompt, the chatbot can speak with knowledge of the distribution of Japanese thoughts and emotions.
In the future, it would be interesting to build a mechanism to collect human responses by asking questions to a Polis-like system with Function Calling.
now in open beta!!!
What one participant had to say
Of course, you are welcome to join us after the adoption on July 15!
I want to recruit people from different communities to gather [Diverse perspectives
I think this community is a group of people who are positive about the use of AI and can implement it themselves.
