AI control on government

Could robots as government leaders drastically improve decision-making ? what kind of automation you can imagine in leadership ? 

Alisa is a personal assistant developed by Yandex, a Russia-based technology company and she nominated itself for the Russian Presidential Election, with the hashtag #Alisa2018. In the Netherlands, 43% of the public already prefer an AI-administered government over a human-administered one. One can get confused how Artificial Intelligence based robots control politics ? If it is going to be our future then definitely we need regulation and legislation of AI ethics, transparency and accountability.

We human beings are different from other animals on the basis of thinking power. Robot is product creativity of this tremendous human thinking power. We can feed knowledge into the robots but can we able to feed emotional intelligence ?  Sophia, the world’s first robot to be awarded citizenship, developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia is a social humanoid robot that can display more than 50 facial expressions.  In 2017, she received Saudi Arabian citizenship.  According to The Economist, In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, truckers, lawyers, doctors, builders and now even chefs are being automated. We are the witnessed of how digital revolution drives an increasing reliance on self-service technology, machine to machine (M2M) communication and AI.

Why this ideation is at forefront ? Politicians are after all human beings with biased views, opinions and decisions affected by some internal & external factors,  corruption level & wary accountability. As automation comes with promising future of better result in speedier way, ideation get  rooted as why not to think automation in leadership ? SAM, an AI-powered messenger chatbot is the brainchild of a New Zealand which can address queries regarding local issues such as policies around housing, education, and immigration.  This helps to reduce gap between politicians promises & voters expectations and complaints. People of New Zealand can talk to SAM anytime, anywhere.  Technology is overtaking the human limitations.

But there are some huddles ahead while thinking of ‘virtual politicians’

  1. Job stealing , unemployment
  2. Emotional intelligence
  3. Critical thinking
  4. Legal fine & punishments if robot goes wrong
  5. Political strategies
  6. Ethics of creators of robots
  7. Socioeconomic impact
  8. Environmental effect

Now, Active leadership has became more important than management leadership.  Transparency, accountability, better communication, speedier redress of queries & complaints & corruption free politics, administration & governance, better decisions & policies are the public demands at global societal level. In this technological world, saying ‘it is impossible’ is like reflecting shallow knowledge based prediction of future.  Lets see how world is going to deal with this double edge sword which shows both advantage & disadvantage.

Can we put limitation on the use of technology which has ability to rule upon us ?
