DESCRIPTION:Political discourse is the soul of democracy\, but misunderstan
	ding and conflict can fester in divisive conversations. The widespread shi
	ft to online discourse exacerbates many of these problems and corrodes the
	 capacity of diverse societies to cooperate in solving social problems. Sc
	holars and civil society groups promote interventions that make conversati
	ons less divisive or more productive\, but scaling these efforts to online
	 discourse is challenging.\n\nIn this talk\, Chris Bail will discuss condu
	cting a large-scale experiment that demonstrates how online conversations 
	about divisive topics can be improved with AI tools. Specifically\, a larg
	e language model is employed to make real-time\, evidence-based recommenda
	tions intended to improve participants’ perception of feeling understood. 
	These interventions improve reported conversation quality\, promote democr
	atic reciprocity and improve the tone\, without systematically changing th
	e content of the conversation or moving people’s policy attitudes\n\nEvent
