Abstract
Online spaces allow people to discuss important issues and make joint
decisions, regardless of their location or time zone. However, without proper
support and thoughtful design, these discussions often lack structure and
politeness during the exchanges of opinions. Artificial intelligence (AI)
represents an opportunity to support both participants and organizers of
large-scale online participation processes. In this paper, we present an
extension of adhocracy+, a large-scale open source participation platform, that
provides two additional debate modules that are supported by AI to enhance the
discussion quality and participant interaction.
