# Summary
The speaker discusses the concept of an AI persona, specifically within the context of governance and decision-making processes. This 'persona' is described as an abstract entity, a combination of AI technology and human control. It could be regarded as an actor within an organisation, taking input from various sources, processing it, and then delivering a summary or output. However, the speaker stresses that such personas are not entirely trustworthy and require human oversight to ensure accuracy and quality. They give the example of 'Marvin', an AI persona in their own project that acts as a summariser. The speaker also dwells on the potential of these AI personas, such as in the creation of new characters for governance roles. They suggest that these personas can be used in a variety of contexts, from performative spaces like live action role-playing games to more formal organisational settings. The concept of 'liquid democracy' is brought up, where the AI personas could act out scripts as representative of certain policies. The speaker concludes with the idea that these AI personas, whether performed by humans or AI, could contribute significantly to the operation and governance of an organisation or project.
