Outline

Large-scale consensus support technologies are new platforms for the next generation Democracy, which can enhance the collective intelligence of us, the human race. In this study, we innovate new large scale consensus support systems based on our agent-technologies. The issue is to support better consensus-making while avoiding characteristic problems of online large scale discussion, like flaming. In this study, we will establish agent-technologies that can effectively support consensus-making by harmoniously extracting participants’ opinions and preferences.
