[US] How would you feel if the next administration (2029-2033) used some form of algocracy? (lemmy.zip)

In this scenario, the 2028 elections have already passed, but the discussion isn't about whether the Democrats, Republicans, or another party won.

Rather, the question is whether that administration is using AI to develop certain policies in the economic, scientific, technological, transportation, military, tax, health, or other sectors. Would you accept that administration using these tools, or would you prefer that humans make those policies?

The humans are making those decisions whether you use AI or not. There’s lots of bias in training any form of model, and many people doing the training dont likely prioritize. Yes there is actual training bias like leakage and sample distribution issues that everyone knows, but the implicit biases are far more insidious. Look at all the facial recognition software or the countless prison ml/ai applications that are ridiculously biased to minorities. AI is no better and arguably worse. Are you going to ask the AI how it got to its answer? Because it can’t tell you about its little weights.
