Yeah, he has a point :) It's always struck me as weird that we "allow" political leaders that can put personal gain and career in front of what's good for everyone else. Also as you touch upon the world is rapidly becoming too complex to be governed by us. AI could save us from bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption, shortsightedness and cognitive bias.

I'd actually welcome our AI overlords if they could execute according to a a reasonable value system (maybe execute is the wrong word). On the other hand, how do you set its goals, and what could possibly go wrong :)
