Optimal decision making in the digital age
The Association for Digital Democracy
Session 172
The session describes (1) the theoretically optimal decision making system in a digital age and (2) a practical implementation with some real world results.
The Association for Digital Democracy has combined liquid democracy with a prediction system where anyone can make predictions, and based on track-records the predictions are weighed in the optimal way to provide the probabilities for outcomes of proposals which guides people in a way where expertise is directly testable. Further, the liquid democracy aspect makes sure that people that do not have the time or energy to take part in every decision can still be equally represented by delegating their vote to a digital copy of themselves or another person for instance. Note that AI can be exclusively used as predictors, so if they do not make predictions well then they will matter less and we further make sure that every voter is actually a human. In an age of vast amounts of misinformation it is vital to have a system that verifiably brings forth the ground truths.

Goal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
Due to increasing the ability to participate and having a fully transparent system, the solution reduces inequality in political bodies and other organizations as well as promoting a just and inclusive society. We further believe that democracy is key for peaceful societies and various other goals, but more indirectly.
