Participatory Approach

Participatory approaches in various fields aim to integrate diverse stakeholders into the design, development, and governance of technologies and processes, particularly focusing on addressing historical biases and power imbalances. Current research emphasizes the use of computational methods, such as adaptive resource allocation algorithms for improved cohort representativeness in data collection and AI-powered tools like large language models (LLMs) to facilitate more efficient and inclusive collective intelligence and urban planning. This research is significant for promoting fairness, equity, and accountability in technological development, with applications ranging from biomedical research and AI governance to urban planning and public policy.
