YouCongress wins a $5,000 award
Our entry to the Epistemic Case Study Competition was recognized for making it easier to explore what people think, why they think it, and where they agree or disagree.
Building the epistemic stack
The Epistemic Case Study Competition aimed to advance AI-assisted building blocks for the Future of Life Foundation's “epistemic stack” infrastructure. For the competition, YouCongress used AI agents to find and verify sourced positions on questions about eggs and health, COVID-19 origins, and Large Hadron Collider risk.
“A crucial part of the epistemic design space to explore in.”
What this supports
YouCongress is building public infrastructure for difficult questions: verifiable quotes, clear claims, and transparent signals about expert and citizen views. The goal is not to make binding decisions, but to give policymakers, journalists, researchers, and the public better evidence for making their own.
