Summary

The Collective Intelligence Project (CIP) is an organization focused on steering transformative AI toward broadly beneficial outcomes by developing democratic, participatory approaches to AI governance and evaluation. Their projects include Weval (collaborative AI benchmarking), Global Dialogues (global deliberation on AI impacts), Community Models (community-defined AI constitutions), and Alignment Assemblies (collective input into AI alignment). They advocate for 'Democratic AI' as a framework for inclusive AI development.

Key Points

•Weval is an open platform democratizing AI evaluation by enabling communities to build qualitative benchmarks for any domain, analogous to Wikipedia for knowledge.
•Global Dialogues engages thousands globally through AI-enabled structured deliberation to create open datasets informing AI development and policy.
•Community Models allows communities to collectively define AI 'constitutions' and refine AI behavior through deliberative tools.
•Jhilmil conducts cultural and social evaluations to measure and improve frontier AI's contextual capabilities across international and regional contexts.
•CIP published a 'Roadmap for Democratic AI' in 2024 outlining actionable steps for building, researching, and advocating for democratically governed AI.

- #### Weval






We’ve launched an [open, collaborative platform](https://weval.org/) to build evaluations that test what matters to you. We empower a global community to create qualitative benchmarks for any domain—from medical chatbots to legal assistance. Just as Wikipedia democratized knowledge, Weval aims to democratize evaluation, ensuring that AI works for, and represents, everyone.

- #### Global Dialogues






We engage thousands of people across the globe through structured, AI-enabled deliberation to understand how they’re interacting with and impacted by AI systems. This creates an open, longitudinal dataset to inform AI development, policy, and build globally relevant benchmarks.

- #### Community Models






Using AI-enabled deliberative tools, our community models platform lets communities create and refine AI models based on collectively-defined constitutions.

- #### Jhilmil






If AI is going to be deployed globally, it should work globally. We are conducting cultural and social evaluations to better measure and improve the contextually-specific capabilities of frontier AI. We are partnering with international NGOs, local experts, and AI labs to build regional benchmarks of AI.

- #### Roadmap for Democratic AI






In 2024, we set the agenda for Democratic AI, publishing a roadmap for what can be immediately done, built, researched, advocated for, and funded.
