  "summary": "Built around a large online deliberation experiment with AI-assisted moderation and a follow-up during the 2022 midterms, this paper asks whether deliberation can be scaled without losing its civic effects. Participants became more attentive to campaigns, more politically knowledgeable, and more likely to connect their eventual vote choices to considered policy views. The argument is that organized automated discussion can create more deliberative voters, even outside the face-to-face mini-public format.",
