Tech-Enhanced Student Assembly

Inspired by the proven model of deliberative assemblies worldwide, CCC and DemNext conceptualized, designed, and implemented the first of its kind tech-enhanced and student-focused version of a deliberative assembly in January of 2024. The assembly harnessed powerful technologies to create positive, constructive, human-led systems.

Our pilot at MIT

CCC and DemocracyNext hosted the first-ever tech-enhanced Student Assembly at MIT during the Independent Activities Period (IAP) in January 2024. In this exploratory three-day event, a dozen students gathered to deliberate on ethical guidelines and regulations needed to govern the use of generative AI for faculty and students at MIT. Assembly members included both undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of academic disciplines:, from applied mathematics and computer science to urban studies and planning.
