Position: Citizen assemblies should be used as a primary means to develop governing principles for AI to ensure democratic representation because of societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies should be used as a supplementary method alongside expert panels to benefit from a diverse set of opinions and expertise in AI governance because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies should not be used for AI governance because the complexity of the subject requires specialized knowledge beyond the grasp of the general public because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Democratic, Governance, Game Theory, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies can be used to inform the development of AI governance, but final decisions should be made by elected officials or experts in the field because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, Game Theory, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies should be occasionally convened to gauge public sentiment and provide guidance to experts, not to directly create AI governance principles because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: The use of citizen assemblies for AI governance should be limited to certain aspects where public values and ethics play a significant role, rather than technical regulations because of economic, health, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: While citizen assemblies are useful, their role in AI governance should be advisory only, and they should not have binding decision-making power because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, Game Theory, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies for AI governance could potentially be useful, but their implementation must be carefully designed to avoid influence by special interests and ensure truly representative deliberation because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Human Rights, Democratic, Governance, Game Theory, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.•
Position: Citizen assemblies should not be used because they might slow down the process of governance in an area where rapid advancements require swift policymaking because of economic, societal, safety, ethical, political, philosophical, legal, Democratic, Governance, Game Theory, and AI Alignment and Safety reasons.
