We need either A) competent, highly technologically sophisticated government (which seems very far away obviously) or B) something really similar to take it's place. So much of what government does (aside from the bombings etc.) is really about providing and enforcing a framework for people to work together. And in this era that needs to be a high tech framework. Actually, it needs to not only be very high tech, but also very cutting edge, decentralized, sufficiently holistic but also flexible enough to evolve. Which is incredibly hard, and we probably will not get due to greed, stupidity and politics, and that may be the actual reason that human civilization is superceded by AI civilization.
