2024 Meta Community Forum on Generative AI: Surveys, Dataset, and Materials

This deposit contains materials related to the 2024 Meta Community Forum on Generative AI. The deposit currently contains the deliberative poll's post-deliberation survey questionnaire. The pre-deliberation questionnaire, cleaned survey dataset, and briefing materials will be added at a later date. In October 2024, Meta, in collaboration with the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab, implemented the third Meta Community Forum. This Community Forum expanded on the October 2023 deliberations regarding Generative AI. For this Community Forum, the participants deliberated on ‘how should AI agents provide proactive, personalized experiences for users?’ and ‘how should AI agents and users interact?’. Participants considered a variety of tradeoffs regarding consent, transparency, and human-like behaviors of AI agents. For this deliberation, nearly 900 participants from five countries: India, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey, participated in this deliberative event. The samples of each of these countries were recruited independently, so this Community Forum should be seen as five independent deliberations. In addition, 1,033 persons participated in the control group, where the participants did not deliberate in any discussions but completed the pre- and post-deliberation surveys.
