Committees have only done good in the past when the issue they were deciding was either away from public eye or not contentious
Edit: This point was addressed satisfactorily later in the essay. I don’t know if politics is as bad as it was in 1787, but it is pretty bad now.
There can be committees which represent the public but which are shielded from the public.
The Constitutional Convention had issues but it did produce the Constitution thanks in part to its secrecy. Its delegates were chosen by state legislatures so it was somewhat democratic (for the time, that is).
A “Constitutional Convention” for AI regulation doesn’t sound like an awful idea...
