No, because artificial intelligence is not yet ready to govern us.

Then when it is smart/flawless enough it will take many decades for humans to accept this.

Just like pretty much any change it gets shot down/backlash for a certain amount of time before it becomes commonplace. This is the human way, and exactly why we probably need machine governance in the future.

You think humans are good at doing the best thing for everyone? Humans are the species who walked away from rescuing people from the concentration camps, people who were imprisoned and mass murdered for who they are (many different groups including Jewish people).

After all that horror and mistreatment, the lessons learned? Nothing. Still went on to attack, kill and imprison gay men like myself. Even after bearing witness to some of the worst horrors that tribalism can cause.

It's like we learn, but we don't learn.

Is artificial intelligence good at sticking to the facts? (No, the latest ai technology based on LLMs consistently hallucinates facts citations and evidence) Is artificial intelligence immune to manipulation, gaming and tricks? (No, there are significant numbers of attacks specifically designed to effectively fool an LLM) Does AI do the right thing every time? (No, ai works faster than a human but with significantly higher rates of error) So yeah. No.

"Yellow journalism" becomes "misinformation". "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" becomes "algorithmic bias". What's new is old again.

Denial of care is not a new moral failing introduced by machines, it is an old cost-containment policy implemented more efficiently with computers. For example, the No Surprises Act of 2020 created a federally-managed independent dispute resolution (IDR) process for institutional players to appeal claim denials, while it (and Obamacare) intentionally left the rest of us with an opaque, privately-managed independent review organization (or IRO) process for our appeals. Examples are likely merely the tip of the iceberg.

Little to do with AI. Or even computers. "Trump" is what this is about. Previously it was Bush, and before that Reagan, Nixon, or whoever the last non-Democrat was. Someone else besides "me".
