On some fronts I am sure it would have a competitive edge over human parties. The question is who the owner would be.
Like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_Party_(Japan)
The party claims to entrust all policy-making to AI
The party pledged to use AI in the budget process to cut unnecessary funds and to reorganize transport routes to optimize them based on the population and travel behavior of citizens.
Well there was a Black Mirror episode along those lines which resulted in a worldwide fascist hellscape, so there’s certainly at least one billionaire funding it right now.
Yes, that’s roughly how I’d have ecpected it to end
Humans are inherently flawed. Even the best ones are biased, emotional, irrational and easily manipulated. My (perhaps) unpopular opinion is that politics will never run like a well-oiled machine that treats everyone fairly for as long as they’re run by people.
A truly benign, aligned and independent AGI system is the only thing I can even imagine that could at least in theory offer the kind of governing system we actually need. And I truly mean an independent agent with our well-being as the guiding principle. Not one with an inbuilt bias toward who made it.
Now, whether that’ll ever be actually possible is a different story but the “best case scenario” for a human-run government and an AI-run government are light-years apart.
