When AI Summarises Citizens, It Also Interprets Democracy
Not everyone participates in public consultations under equal conditions.
Differences in education, language, digital access, available time, disability, institutional trust and familiarity with administrative procedures can influence who participates and how their contributions are expressed.
A consultation dataset is therefore not necessarily a representative portrait of society.
It reflects the people who participated, the channels available to them and the conditions under which they were able to contribute.
AI does not automatically correct these limitations.
