| Summary: | It’s late 2027 and the residents of the city of Lille meet Marianne Reloaded, artificial intelligence in a civic bot that brings residents and elected officials closer together. Marianne is a harbinger of a new era of trust in politics. Launched by private company Civitar, its roots lie in a crowdfunded campaign that saw the city’s inhabitants collectively fund and design the template. The people of Lille can now use the interface’s instant messaging feature to pass on their opinions, complaints and suggestions directly to the city council, which can keep in touch with what people think with unparalleled ease and fluidity. |
