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 ?

Migration crisis management

            The global economy crisis & global health crisis due to war or disaster creates problems of migrants which is responsible for the debate who will take their responsibility. In 2015, UN adopted a new framework for sustainable development based on the principle that no one should be left behind. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director, Christine lagarde said that No country can manage the refugee issue on their own. In 2005, the World Health Organization adopted the International Health Regulations. These guidelines talks about controlling spread of diseases, while minimizing the adverse effects of travel & trade restrictions.            The root question which arise in the fear of 'refugee as weapon', & 'caring migrants like waste of national resources' is, is there need of stopping complete migration? Can we ? Who will ? In such war or crisis or disaster period, everybody becomes possessive being family member & citizen

We may poor but not threatening security   

        The growing global gap between rich & poor is the main concern simultaneously with the focus on poverty alleviation . The 1994 Human Development Report (HDR) highlighted two major components of human security, first, freedom from fear & freedom from want. When both these freedom is threatened by system, cultural or traditional defects, natural or man made disasters, own survival failure, incompetence then poverty knocks your door. There are some types of poverty like situational,  generational, absolute, relative, urban & rural. Thus, there is multi dimensional poverty.           When you think poverty may breed insecurity you must be thinking how it is a complex nexus of transnational threats like large migration, environmental degradation, crime, proliferation for small arms, infectious diseases etc. But why don't you ever think that one day, even yours rich habits, rich lifestyles and business you build on keeping poor as poor will let others in darkness of

Use of geographical configurations

         Do we need integration of geographical knowledge to tackle stress ? The news that remaining geography paper of 10th ssc board exam get cancelled must be good news for students. Now, these students are free to take benefit of current corona lockdown. For most of the students, it was scoring subject. Geography is most important subject to study as a global citizen. We get to know how we all are dependent due to inequal distribution of natural resources, how our cultures, ideas & thoughts are shaped by region, how the relations  between  living things & non living are maintained, in short, evolution of physical environment  & society.             In this context, geographical studies have significant application in making health landscapes, disaster  management , security infrastructure, mental mapping, social environment etc. In current scenario of India, 'mapmyIndia maps' & 'move app' is helping  users to locate, view & reach testing labs
