On Cognicism

Abstract: Cognicism is a framework for promoting collective wisdom, collaboration, and better decision-making through technology. John will share about his development of community AI bots Iris, Ceres, and now Gaia (made for the Data Science Studio), which are trained on community data, interact with Chat GPT-4, and aim to truly represent the community's collective voice. These bots enable groups of people who may not fully understand each other’s perspectives to communicate directly with one another, share their knowledge, and come to an enhanced understanding. The bots adapt to new information and eventually guide the community towards their shared goals more efficiently.
