Obvia is joining Communautique's initiative to conduct a consultation process on the citizen perspective regarding the deployment of AI in public services. The project will create a space for dialogue with citizens on how AI should redefine government services. Divided into two phases, the consultation includes an initial citizen meeting to gather existing viewpoints and stimulate the emergence of various scenarios for appropriate government services. A second meeting will focus on developing prototypes of responsible AI usage based on the identified scenarios, aiming to better meet citizens' needs through public services. The outcomes of the project include:
- A first report on citizens' considerations regarding the conditions of AI usage in public services.
- Methodological contributions to citizen consultation on AI issues.
