AI analysis tool (AI Sensemaking)

This tool is designed to support how to understand, categorise and analyse the contributions of residents participating in participation projects. The AI analysis tool is compatible with both projects within which we collect ideas and survey projects.

Goal and impact

To facilitate understanding, categorisation and analysis of large amounts of input from residents within participatory processes. Only the content of contributions will be shared, not personal data.

Considerations

Using the tool saves a lot of time, gives a better understanding of the data and the built-in transparency keeps people able to control the content of the analysis. Only the content of the input is shared, the personal data is not (unless a resident shares personal data in their input).

Human intervention

The application is built entirely according to the human-in-the-loop philosophy. Read more here: https://support.govocal.com/nl/articles/8316692-ai-analyse

Risk management

The user interface alerts the user to errors or hallucinations of the generative AI. The user interface is built around the human-in-the-loop concept, where the raw source data is displayed on the screen at all times while generating summary. This encourages the user to control the algorithm and give their own interpretation where desired. Summaries can be deleted and modified. Summary includes references to source ideas.

Data is minimised; no PII is structurally sent to 3rd parties.

Legal basis

General data protection regulation (AVG)

Impact assessment

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): Er zijn in het verleden DPIAs uitgevoerd door verschillende klanten met betrekking tot het gehele Go Vocal platform, maar niet over deze functionaliteit specifiek. Een voorbeeld van zo'n DPIAs is vertrouwelijk, maar beschikbaar op vraag.

Operations

Data

Ideas, contributions (comments), survey results

Technical design

The functionality that generates summaries uses a Large Language Model hosted by Microsoft Azure. The collected contributions are structurally forwarded to the model, and the model is prompted to generate a complete summary, with references to relevant contributions where applicable.

The auto-tagging functionality for clustering contributions uses a Large Language Model to detect and classify themes. Classical classification algorithms are used for detecting sentiment and language.
