RE: Should AI Replace Governments Someday?

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Let me give you my very initial response which is.. "Are you f'n crazy?!" You are suggesting something that is gravely dangerous for so many reasons that I can't even begin to count them!

My more tempered secondary response is to suggest you read an older article by Bill Joy who was the CTO of Sun Microsystems and who sometime back wrote an op-ed on the dangers of a number of emerging technologies with AI being one of the most important of them. I highly suggest you have a read and a very deep think on it.

My most important warning with such types of technology is that certain "genies" (like AI) when let out of their bottles are not just difficult to put back in, they are Pandora's boxes that can destroy things that the natural world has architected with beauty over billions of years. Using AI is one thing, and this is already dangerous. Making AI a master over our society is insanity and a latent death wish.

AI in a governmental form as you are suggesting, is however also the wet dream of the Technocratic elite. If you are not familiar with technocracy, I suggest you have a listen to Patrick Wood as an introduction. This should also give you some more insight on the dangers of both AI and Technocracy as governmental solutions over human beings. Interest with any advanced controlling technology by Technocrats is never to make the world a better place for you and me, but to use the technology to make an ever more perfect Orwellian, dystopic state. AI would be their perfect tool for this:

I think that you somehow misunderstood that I support the idea of an AI government. I simply do not. I am well aware of the dangers that such a thing would pose. I was merely discussing an idea as I always normally do. I invite the reader to ponder about the idea and really think about it deeply.

Good to know.. then my reply is for all your readers that appear to have taken it as a potentially good idea.

Somehow, I miss what you are after here. I'm not sure the point of writing posts like this. It simply confuses people. Why not instead take a stand on something that is seriously wrong. We have enough confused people as it is today. Why encourage more?

If you actually provided some real arguments for each side, then maybe you could act like it's about giving people an opinion on a meaningful topic. There's nothing here to do that. It's more like clickbait for people that are addicted to making ill-informed comments. I'm not sure where the benefit lies in that.
