Navigation in politics - Fuzzy cognitive map and argumentation approach for policy modelling and analytics

This paper will illustrate with the example of the Policy Compass, an EU research project, how ICT in government can address the need for policy tools with support of AI. In sum, this paper will reveal how open data and AI can support the policy impact modelling and analysis. In the Policy Compass platform, Carneades argumentation systems is being integrated with the Adhocracy e-participation platform and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) plays a critical role to model and simulate the impact of policy. These function shows the potential of applicability of AI technology for a complex policy evaluation as a political process.
