This paper investigates the philosophical underpinnings of selfhood and large language models in light of evolving First Amendment and European Union jurisprudence on freedom of speech and freedom of expression. It argues that traditional free-speech doctrines are predicated on core assumptions (intentionality and selfhood) that LLMs categorically lack, and proposes establishing LLM outputs as a new category of language as opposed to speech.

This paper demonstrates that, after deliberation (using an AI-moderated platform), college students showed immense moderation potential and affective depolarization, especially even given their homogeneity as a bloc within American politics. These findings offer optimism for future research in homogeneous groups through understanding that group polarization can be avoided with the right precautionary measures.

This paper explores the creation of a novel type of governance structure: the corporation-state, which combines private ownership with sovereign power.
