In 2012 in the US, a group of researchers developed a system called POLIS, which is obviously a reference to the Greek name for ‘polis’ – a city. Their system, which is partly AI-driven, can support the Focus Group-style consensus debates for thousands, or even millions of people in a very fast way. It has the same objectives as the Focus Groups but here the participants debate indirectly and anonymously, trying to find 60% majority through compromise. The POLIS system has been used in Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and in the UK. A participant can himself make an anonymous comment (a Statement) of up to a maximum of 140 characters and send it for other participants to vote.
