Collective Intelligence Project — program: Alignment Assemblies: democratic forums to surface public views on AI alignment. Launched Feb 2023. Engaged 1,200+ participants across 68 countries by 2024.

Note: The source text confirms that Alignment Assemblies is indeed CIP's program and that it launched in early 2023 (March 2023 for the first pilot). The description of it as 'democratic forums to surface public views on AI alignment' aligns with the source's characterization. However, the source excerpt does not contain the specific quantitative claims about '1,200+ participants across 68 countries by 2024.' The source only describes the pilots and their partners, without providing aggregate participant statistics or geographic reach data. Since the claim includes specific numbers that cannot be verified from the provided source text, this is a partial confirmation rather than full confirmation.

Note: The source confirms the core description of Alignment Assemblies as a CIP program focused on democratic input on AI alignment, and confirms 2023 launch activities. However, the source excerpt is incomplete (ends mid-sentence) and does not contain the specific quantitative claims about 1,200+ participants across 68 countries by 2024. These specific metrics cannot be verified or contradicted from the provided text. The claim about February 2023 launch is partially supported (v0 was March 2023, which is close but not exact).
