Would You Let an AI Choose Your Next President?

In an age of disinformation, tribal politics, and low voter turnout, the idea of AI-guided governance is gaining traction. Could an autonomous system, trained on ethics, data, and fairness, make better choices than humans?

AI could theoretically process billions of variables—history, social impact, environmental data—to pick leaders who are best equipped to serve public good. No bribes. No spin. Just data.

But critics argue that giving AI power over democratic processes would undermine free will and create a new, invisible elite: the coders who built it.

Would AI favor utilitarian outcomes over individual rights? Could it be hacked? And most importantly—who holds it accountable?
