According to AI TIMES, the Presidential Committee on Basic Society will open a public deliberation platform on September 9 and begin a process to discuss the direction of a basic society needed in the AI transition era with 200 members of a citizen deliberation panel. The discussion will emphasize setting the agenda through civic debate rather than making binary choices, and ordinary citizens will also be able to share opinions and policy proposals in an open forum. The deliberation panel will take part in full-scale discussions after preliminary learning and a Q&A session, and the committee says it will use the process to refine its vision of a basic society suited to future social changes and key policy issues. In particular, the procedure is described as one that reflects the experiences and perspectives of the teenage and young adult generations in an effort to broaden social consensus on long-term change. The results of the discussion are designed not to end as a one-off collection of opinions, but to lead to follow-up policy deliberations. Based on the deliberation results gathered this way, the committee plans to consult with relevant ministries and push for the findings to be reflected in actual policy.
Perspective
The key point in this issue is that the AI transition is not being confined to a technological discussion, but is instead placing principles for social governance on the table as a subject of citizen deliberation. If a social consensus on direction is established first, there will be more room to discuss sensitive issues such as welfare, jobs, and services while reducing policy resistance. In particular, because the participation structure has been left open, whether the process can secure both policy legitimacy and acceptability, and whether the deliberation results are actually reflected in policy, will become the benchmark for trust going forward.
