You're not an audience.
You're a contributor.
AI is already transforming work, healthcare, finance, and governance. Not in theory—in practice. But the conversation about what this means for society is fragmented, polarized, and stuck between hype and fear.
In 60 minutes, 25 people from different sectors will grapple with:
“You can't regulate what you don't understand. And you can't understand what you haven't discussed—together.”
Not a conference. Not a webinar. A structured format designed to produce clarity from complexity—in one hour.
The 7-Phase Protocol
Seven Phases. One Hour. Civic Intelligence.
| Dimension | Traditional Events | AI TownSquare |
|---|---|---|
| Voice | One speaker to many listeners | Many-to-many dialogue |
| Structure | Ad hoc or chaotic | 7-phase protocol |
| Output | Video no one watches | Civic Brief in 48 hours |
| Participants | Passive audience | Curated contributors |

Within 48 hours of every session, we publish a Civic Brief—a distilled document capturing what real people said, the tensions surfaced, and actionable signals for policymakers.
Civic Insight Brief
Key Theme
“Participants distinguished between AI replacing tasks vs. replacing jobs. Consensus: the framing itself is misleading...”
“The question isn't whether AI takes jobs—it's whether we've prepared workers for what comes next.”
— Participant, Cross-Sector DialogueAI TownSquare isn't a standalone event. It's part of a self-correcting civic infrastructure that turns dialogue into institutional readiness.
“I will advocate for this myself!”
