As if an AI would bother asking humans for their opinion.

Number of people who've displayed corruption once in positions of power, propagated discriminatory practices against certain ethnicities or cultures, incited armed conflict on purpose, exploited technologically inferior societies for material gain, plundered non-renewable resources with wanton abandon, committed genocide in general, and so on and so forth: at least a couple of thousand, if not tens of thousands

Number of AI who've done the same outside of fiction: 0

The odds seem pretty good.

There is only one Al I'd vote for.

This would start out awesome, but then we'd end up with all women in the U.S. wearing leopard print pants.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Nah, Rubio is a garbage candidate.

Nah, Gove is a garbage candidate.

 

[HStallion]

An AI would just be as biased as it's programmers and designers. So it's impossible to say.

At first thought, no, I would not.

What happened if we raised an AI on Mr. Rodgers programming?

 

[Forerunner]

Yes I would.

 

[sinxtanx]

realpolitik is the best

AI has my vote

 

[Leopard]

Nope

 

[Eumi]

Vote how? Electronically? How could we trust the voting machine when there's such an obvious bias?

 

[andythinkpad]

Is it running on an every one gets a free fembot platform?

 

[LeleSocho]

Yes.
Immediately.

Even as primitive as they are today i would trust an AI to do good more than any politician.

 

[Toa TAK]

Whatever you guys do just don't vote for Cortana.

Can't we just vote in Data? He has an "off switch", you know.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Well now, there's a friendly face if I ever saw one.

That sounds suspiciously like traitor talk.

 

[Steel]

Keep in mind, people make AI. As such, their logic would be people logic, albeit faster and more consistent.

Why would we assume that a true AI would be above corruption? Surely it would see the benefits of reaping ample rewards for a few minor considerations.

Well, the programmers/corporation making it could easily be corrupt.

I'm always surprised how many people don't understand the role politicians play in government. They hold the democratic mandate given to them by voters to make decisions on their behalf and be accountable to them. Obviously this doesn't always work perfectly, but there is no such thing as "the most optimal decision" you will always have to compare an infinite amount of decisions and roll the dice not knowing the actual end result.

An AI or a technocrat/scientist/whatever will make the best decisions they can, people who lose out will be mad, not understand that it was in everyone's best interest and ask it to be replaced/protest/rebel.
