This study aims to discover the social wish for cloud-scale technology to support discussions. Discussion support technologies have been actively explored in artificial intelligence research, in which various proposals and empirical studies have been conducted to realize hyper-democracy. However, hyper-democracy support technology needs to distill social demands from empirical analysis of actual social issues. Therefore, a continuous accumulation of empirical approaches is required. In this study, we conducted an online discussion (OD) on the Issue of Removed soil in Fukushima Prefecture. Through observation of demonstration experiments and analysis of discussion data, we attempted to explore the social expectations and challenges of discussion support technology and to discover Social Wish for discourse support technology.
