Such a technocracy, if the AI capabilities of policy formation here assumed becomes reality, may, in theory, provide us with better means of participation, fair and impartial political outcomes, and more efficient government resulting in benefits for most individuals and society in general. They are: a) people might need politics, b) legitimacy is linked to democracy, c) AI is not capable of morality, d) we have an issue with transparency related to AI and e) AI decision-making involves problems assigning responsibility. If politics is really about deciding which moral values are important, and what we see as the good society, having a policy process whereby human beings take part in the formulation of these issues is compatible with a technocracy. ./cache/cord-276110-zztp61pj.txt ./txt/cord-276110-zztp61pj.txt
