And I want to live in a world that has maximal benefits for the largest average group of stakeholders not just a group of elites like we have now. Unfortunately non-AI based governing systems are run by humans and history shows that fair systems are unstable and eventually become usurped by those who place their own interests ahead of the rest of the population. Will an AI system be better than that? I don’t know. Historically both benevolent dictatorships and republics are reasonable systems but the benevolent dictator eventually dies and republics ALWAYS transform into rule by the elite.
What I want is a long lived benevolent dictator whether it’s a transhuman or an AI but frankly I’d trust a benevolent AI ahead of an allegedly benevolent transhuman. Hell I’m not sure that I’d even trust myself to be a 100% fair benevolent transhuman dictator and I’m pretty reasonable. Power corrupts and all that.
