What Is A Digital Legislature?
Overview of System Features
How Does It Work?
Imagine thousands of experts speaking simultaneously, yet every voice is clearly heard, considered, and included equally in the conversation. That is the power of the digital legislature. Unlike traditional meetings where a few hundred people speak one at a time in a physical room, our system can accommodate thousands of contributors engaging remotely. An artificial intelligence then consolidates everyone’s input into a detailed, smart summary in real time. Each sentence in the collective summary is backed by expert statements made during the legislative session. When a sentence is highlighted, the system recalls all the statements that contributed to it, compiling them into a comment section.
This comment section allows other experts to challenge, request evidence, or inquire about the statements made. These interactions aim to either validate, revise, or retract the statements. Any change to a primary statement will automatically update the collective summary until it stabilizes into a consensus among the assembly. This process can also be applied to reviewing proposed bills, where specific sentences can be highlighted, inquiries made, and evidence presented to challenge statements or entire sections—forcing proof, edits, or retractions until the bill is refined or withdrawn entirely.
The digital legislature will continue to evolve as people begin to use it, but it will ultimately be refined and managed by the Science & Technology department of the African Diaspora Government once it is established. With the unity of so many tech experts working toward a common goal, the system holds tremendous potential and is sure to surprise everyone in the future. Below are the initial features that will be included.
