Marcin Woźniak about Swarmcheck and Argument Mapping: How democratic discourse can be more rational

Episode description

NOTE: Because of some network problems, I had to repeat some questions. I had to cut the video a couple of times: to make it comprehensible, I’ve inserted a “beep” sound, to make it clear that is not Marcin that is repeating himself. I hope it is comprehensible. :)

In this insightful episode, Marcin Woźniak discusses SwarmCheck, an innovative argument mapping software developed by the Optimum Foundation to improve rational public discourse and collective decision-making. SwarmCheck visualizes arguments as interactive networks, helping people find agreements and understand disagreements through an analytical approach. Marcin explains how the platform enhances critical thinking, reduces polarization, and has been successfully applied in policymaking, pharmaceutical research, and educational contexts. He shares his concerns about AI development and argues that combining collective human intelligence with artificial intelligence represents our best path forward in an increasingly complex world, where technology should augment rather than replace human reasoning.
