Not at all, politics is often a question of values as much as one of logistics, even assuming AI can handle logistics. For example, consider homelessness. No one has any clue what, if anything, is the best solution, because there are tradeoffs of values. One possible solution (these are examples, if your personal pet solution is not included or is misrepresented, I apologize) is you ignore the homeless and just let them be, and allow individual communities and cities to address charity and enforcement. Another is for states to house all non-mentally ill homeless for free, for, say, a year, and, in mental health instutitions, house the repeat homeless, the mentally ill homeless, and those that after some period of time cannot or will not find work. AI can help you diagnose the problem, and make predictions about it, but those two solutions above have VERY different outcomes, have very different pricetags, and accomplish very different goals. An AI can’t think about the high level moral tradeoffs of questions like “is 100% getting homeless off the streets worth a fraction of the population being held at significant cost to taxpayers and against its own will?” Somebody, at the end of the day, must decide which, if either, of those plans people will use, and that somebody is a politician you elect. AI is not going to replace that. |
