TACITUS LAB
>> The Habermas Machine
Tacitus is built on the hypothesis that AI can act as a "mediating layer" that structures democratic deliberation. We do not invent these concepts; we operationalize them for enterprise and diplomatic data.
Foundational Research
Our architecture is informed by recent breakthroughs in Deliberative AI:
-
AI for Democratic Deliberation
Demonstrating how "Habermas Machines" can help groups find common ground statements that are preferred to those written by human mediators.
-
Constitutional AI
Utilizing a set of principles (a constitution) to guide AI behavior, ensuring conflict resolution remains within ethical bounds.
Our Contributions
Tacitus Lab focuses on the "Last Mile" of conflict data:
- > Narrative Graphing: Mapping not just facts, but "sacred values" in negotiation.
- > Email-Native Ingestion: Applying deliberative structures to unstructured SMTP data streams.
- > Privacy-Preserving RAG: Analyzing sensitive HR data without training models on it.
