Participatory provenance as representational auditing for AI-mediated public consultation (2026, unknown): “…power dynamics in system design [Sloane et al., 2022, Birhane et al., 2022, Delgado et al., 2023] and has called for meaningful involvement of affected communities [Young, 2000, Fung, 2006], but has not produced formal metrics for auditing live participatory deployments at the population level.”
