Resumen
La deliberación pareciera poder contener los riesgos de espacios públicos degradados que refuerzan y legitiman discursos populistas, xenófobos y autoritarios. Este artículo reflexiona sobre dos alternativas actuales que se consideran apoyos para mejorar la deliberación: por un lado, el modelo de los mini-públicos, también llamados muchas veces “asambleas ciudadanas” con participantes seleccionados por sorteo; y, por otro, los usos de la inteligencia artificial al servicio de la deliberación. En el primer caso, nos preguntamos si el modelo de las asambleas ciudadanas es exportable a contextos latinoamericanos a partir de investigaciones sobre la experiencia de (Re)surgentes en la región; en el segundo caso, nos preguntamos qué puede hacer (y qué no puede) la IA en un proceso deliberativo, a partir de una sesión de experimentación con la Plataforma Pol.is e IA generativas de uso cotidiano.Palabras clave:
