MIT's Deb Roy: every public text, human or AI, needs someone answerable
nordicinst · x · 2026-10-13
An MIT News Q&A with professor Deb Roy argues that accountability in AI-driven civic dialogue is essential, particularly in Europe. Roy contends every piece of text in public life — regardless of whether it originates from humans or AI — must have someone "answerable" behind it. He stresses slowing deployment "to the speed of trust" to preserve democratic legitimacy. MIT Tech Review also covered the discussion.
