Political scientist studying AI governance
Key decisions about the future of AI are almost exclusively made behind closed doors by powerful individuals. What if the general public had a say in how AI systems are developed and deployed? [...] The majority of participants want governmental agencies and the court system – not the tech developers – to determine who should be held accountable when an AI system causes harm. [...] Governmental agencies, including the ones tasked by the Biden administration to regulate AI, should explore the use of public assemblies to meaningfully inform future policy-making and rule-making on AI governance.

Verified. Attribution/bio: Baobao Zhang, assistant professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School, political scientist studying AI governance/public opinion — correct. Source: her Tech Policy Press article "Public Participation is Essential to Decide the Future of AI" (7 Feb 2024) — the source_url is the correct primary source; year 2024 matches. Quote text: confirmed via web search — the opening "Key decisions about the future of AI are almost exclusively made behind closed doors by powerful individuals" is verbatim, and the remaining segments (the US Public Assembly on High-Risk AI findings — participants wanting governmental agencies/courts rather than tech developers to determine accountability, and the recommendation that agencies use public assemblies to inform AI rule-making) match the article's documented content. The two [...] elisions are within the allowed limit. Vote alignment: she argues the public should have a say in AI development/deployment rather than decisions being made behind closed doors by developers, so the "for" vote on "AI value alignment must be subject to public deliberation, not decided by developers alone" is correctly aligned.
