To gauge public sentiment, we utilized Polis. This tool enables participants to vote on sentiments expressed by others, resembling a jury in a wiki survey. The uniqueness of this approach lies in the absence of predefined survey sentiments; they are entirely participant-generated. Through principal component analysis, we demonstrated that despite sharp polarization, there existed more consensus than disagreement. Our first alignment assembly’s report, particularly on the Summit for Democracy, highlights this, revealing deepfakes, disinformation, and misinformation around elections as universally recognized short-term risks.
