Amplifying Community Voices Through Data
Russell Stevens
Data doesn’t just reflect communities — it can help shape more inclusive, constructive conversations. We’re joined by Russell Stevens, Head of Strategy and Development at the MIT Center for Constructive Communication, to explore how qualitative data, storytelling and ethical AI design can bridge gaps in society and decision-making. Russell shares how his team moved beyond traditional media analytics to build a platform that amplifies unheard voices through small-group conversations. He explains why trust, local context and human-in-the-loop sense-making are critical for turning narratives into actionable insight.
