Rewiring Democracy Now

A new kind of political engagement emerges in Japan

Schneier and Sanders Takahiro Anno and Team Mirai's democratic innovations in Japan. Anno's Team Mirai, which translates to "The Future Party," is a recently-founded political party that highlights experimental efforts (including AI-mediated interviews to collect broad perspectives, open source policy feedback platforms, and a "gamified volunteer activation platform") to make democracy more inclusive, and tech-augmented. 

The pair argues in a piece for The Renovator that AI technologies can be power-enhancing, and that Anno and Team Mirai are vanguards of this progressive movement.
