How AI Will Change Democracy

2024-05-31 11:04

We don't know how far AI will go in replicating or replacing human cognitive functions.

Again, I am less interested in how AI will substitute for humans.

As AI starts to look and feel more human, our human politicians will start to look and feel more like AI. I think we will be OK with it, because it's a path we've been walking down for a long time.

More positively, AI can help figure out unintended consequences of a policy change-by simulating how the change interacts with all the other laws and with human behavior.

We need to understand the rate of AI mistakes versus the rate of human mistakes-and also realize that AI mistakes are viewed differently than human mistakes.

AI systems can make different kinds of mistakes than humans do-and that's important.
