Participant 1

I am glad you spoke about care in building AI. My presentation expressed the hope that deliberative technology can facilitate a network of care among people, so this resonates.

I have two questions. First, how do we train AI on care when existing online care communities are often homogenised or standardised? I have joined communities for caring for cats and elderly people, and sometimes their standards become extreme. A cat may be 23 years old and people still insist on rescuing it. How do we train AI for care without that kind of standardisation?

Second, AI is treated functionally because the companies behind it try to capitalise it and use it as an instrument. That is their venture-finance model, perhaps not a sustainable one. You paint a hopeful picture of a decentralised network — 8 million decentralised people — but how can it overcome that concentrated economic force and investment?
