As soon as automation continues to penetrate into new aspects of life, some see the possibility that AI will take over presidential duties. It will be open-minded, constructively solve problems, and may well be the leader you deserve people. The role of the President has always been a coveted and controversial, so traditionally belonged to the people. The use of the word “traditionally” happens more often because so many “traditionally” belong to the sphere go under the control of the machines and artificial intelligence. One day the President may just be artificial intelligence.
In 2016, the team even offered to nominate Watson for this high position. What is it?
One of the main reasons that this issue is being discussed poise. People are vulnerable to emotions, but AI can make decisions without prejudice, without anger, without resentment, without pulse and without ego (and this is a big problem power people). AI, by its nature, able to explore all aspects of the problem, before drawing her conclusions. AI does not take quick decisions based on a single fact, so specifically here is the machine better than a human.
In addition, AI the President will not be dependent on Finance. AI will have no financial stake in any business, and therefore would give priority to one of the parties. It will only rely on what was best correlated with the existing facts. For example, the AI will not invest in energy sources, therefore, taking action on climate change, it will follow the actual state of Affairs.
Obviously, the idea of choosing the President in the face of artificial intelligence at first seems impossible. Will we ever evolve to a point when it will be technologically possible to entrust the presidency of the AI? In theory, Yes. AI is developing rapidly, so if a serious project to create the first presidential AI is implemented, it is easy to imagine the emergence of this system in the near future.
The biggest problem that stands in the way of this becoming a future reality, is, are we going to let this happen on behalf of people. To support this idea the most? This is hard to imagine when you consider that the current political landscape definitely seems to be multipolar.
To the extent that, as automation penetrates more and more aspects of our lives, it is easy to imagine that we might one day wish to elect the President, deprived of human weaknesses and programmed to operate in accordance with a set of ideals. It would be possible to program the President to follow a conservative or liberal plans.
Because the artificial intelligence system are taking on tasks traditionally belonging to doctors, lawyers and even poets from the world of people, the President, the AI doesn’t seem so impossible. Today AI is used to create more advanced AI, so let’s imagine a future in which political leaders are smarter, more honest and seem less human.
Will artificial intelligence ever President?
