Would you vote for a rational Artificially Intelligent president?
Not a human hybrid but a pure silicon president.
- toonster 13y agoonly if i knew the rule set that it was programmed with. and methods to handle exceptions.
- coxaqui 13y agoHow much understanding do we have of how the current politicians handle exceptions? i.e. Motivations, drive, true presonality etc.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoVery interesting idea, there must be some SciFi works on this subject. Would the ePresident be fixed for their term of office (no upgrades whilst in post)? Could you ask it questions as a citizen before voting to know how it would respond for any given parameter set? Would it be programmed according to the Three Laws? Perhaps all parties could submit an ePresident candidate and each could get a vote on all actions based on the proportion of the population who voted for it.
- Millennium 13y agoNo, because I would not accept it as sufficiently Artificially Intelligent until it had proven itself capable of irrationality.
- reiz 13y agoHello No. But it is a very interesting idea.
- kbelbina 13y agoOnly if it was open source, I'd be worried about people tampering with it to give it biases for special interests etc.
- qompiler 13y agoThe compiled version might be different. A solution would be to allow everyone to run a local copy of the president which gets the same data-feed so it would respond the same in all instances. The problem is of course that a president deals with confidential information which you don't want to just broadcast over a network for anyone to see.
- informatimago 13y agoYes. Anybody or anything but the current crops of politicians.
- toutouastro 13y agodoes "he" break the rules when they need to be borken ?does "he" have feelings ?
- Stranger2013 13y agoYes, coxaqui. Especially if the alternative is you destroying us.
- andridk 13y agoAs long as it follows the three laws of robotics, yes.
- velodrome 13y agoDepends who programmed it.
- brudgers 13y agoNo. Only an imaginary one.
- pfortuny 13y agoiPresident or gPresident? Or maybe President Blue or BBpres? No: it would be government by engineering which is wrong. States are not machines.
- mvaliente2001 13y agoThe problem is not rationality, but the goals that rational being has to fulfill.
- gadders 13y agoWould you not just end up with utilitarianism?
