SeeGov: Highlight Reels from CHCCS Board of Education Meetings
AI-powered technology enables sharing of video highlights of CHCCS Board meetings
SeeGov is a non-profit organization based in North Carolina which has created a platform that "uses AI to help civic creators and journalists select and share video highlights from local government meetings. Creators choose what to include and add context to inform residents and expand democratic participation. The platform does not alter the source video." The Carrborean will curate and post ~20 minute highlight reels from Town Council meetings, CHCCS Board meetings, and Orange County Commissioners' meetings. These posts are designed to save you time while highlighting main points of discussion. Please view the full meeting videos if you want more information.
