Democracy should be replaced with artificial intelligence

As I said, we have the technology to prevent power outages. What I meant was simple batteries and a generator, which keep the power running even when the electric network is experiencing a power outage. I need to clear out the internet argument as well; the machine would have a one-way connection to the net. It would be able to freely view the material from Internet, but it would not be able to upload anything online, including posting comments on forums or anything of the sort. Only view, not interact with. It won't br able to run any programs online, this to prevent any possible hacking attempts. You seem to be worried handing control of government officials to a machine. I remind that not even the president messes with the daily jobs of police, judges etc. The AI wouldn't give direct orders to single congressmen. It gives new laws, improvement suggestions and allocates the government budget. Much like a president with more power and no selfish ambitions whatsoever, the AI doesn't have to bother with corrupt and power-hungry politicians. Humans will still run the daily life. The nation will not be under dicatorial rule. The machine simply replaces the government, and fixes all that come with politics; corruption, bad compromises, short-sighted decisions and the overall twisted game for power. We have the technology to build a computer so powerful that it would not lag even under a huge amount of information. Of course, we could wait a few years until quantum computers work properly, when it would be practically impossible for the machine to be overload with information. You base almost all your arguments on assuming that the machine does not have enough computing speed, but it's only a question of engineering. Here's an example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org... Many of your arguments are also based on assuming that humans don't have any ability to foresee possible events that could cripple the nation. It's obvious that in case the machine breaks we have a plan B: clear emergency laws what to follow for example. Just because the president dies, nation does not go into chaos. Any cases for which we don't know the answer to, we can ask the machine for its suggestion. As its intelligence exceeds humans by far, it will figure out the best options in different scenarios itself and share them with us. Democracy is not bad, but with the way we are wired, it is twisted to serve completely different purposes that that which is best for everyone. People are faulty; we have greed, we are ignorant and we can be cruel, officials and voters alike. Replacing this with a perfect machine erases all those flaws away. Decision-making process would not be ridden with the original sins of mankind no more. Only logical and reasonable decisions would remain, which would speed the improvement of economy, science and well-being alike. No more would there be futile decisions motivated by religion, hate or greed. When cutting the prime reason for poor decisions, human selfishness, there would be not a single decision not based on reasonable logic for the good of mankind. As governments currently direct money for futile wars and useless improvements, a super-intelligent machine can turn the tide for the good of people.
