There are many ideas of what artificial intelligence in government could look like, some of them pretty sci-fi compared to our current state. On one extreme, picture altruistic and brilliant robots replacing all of our loser politicians, or maybe some sort of giant mainframe dictating all of our government processes from a dark room atop a tower like the Wizard of Oz. Obviously, this type of scenario is a far ways off, and is probably the exact circumstance where we would be exterminated, once the AI logically determines we’d all be better off if there were just less of us.
