Many People Think AI Could Make Better Policy Decisions Than Politicians (qz.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Quartz: A new survey on Europeans' attitudes towards technology found that a quarter of people would prefer it if policy decisions were made by artificial intelligence instead of politicians. The Center for the Governance of Change at Spain's IE University polled 2,500 adults in the UK, Spain, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands in January. The results reflect an intense anxiety about the changes brought about by advances in tech, with more than half of respondents worried that jobs would be replaced by robots, and 70% saying that unchecked technological innovation could do more harm than good to society. Respondents also expressed concerns about the impact of digital relationships replacing human contact as more people spend time online. Perhaps most interestingly, a quarter of the respondents said they would prefer AI to guide decisions about governance of their country over politicians.
Around the world, citizens have expressed a growing disillusionment with democracy, and an increased skepticism that their voice has an impact on political decisions. But algorithmic decisions aren't a problem-free solution: they can be embedded with the prejudice and bias of their programmers or manipulated to achieve specific outcomes, making the results as potentially problematic as the ones made by humans. The study also found that respondents expected governments to reduce the disruption that technology might have on their lives with regulation, limits on automation, and support for people affected by job losses. This "highlights the paradox in which we live," the authors wrote. "People are disillusioned with governments, yet at the same time ask them to tackle the societal and economic negative effects that emerging technologies might have."

It reminds me of the creimer ones
CROFLOL! Obviously creimer himself posting this because he thinks it is going to help him manipulate Slashdot opinion of creimer and he does those type of posts regularly.
Chris, this just makes us realize that you must be the one harassing Kendall in order to show that you are just a poor victim like Kendall and manipulate Slashdot opinion in your favor. This must be your latest stupid plan.
Boy are you ever dumb and such a nuisance Chris! But still, you truly believe that all your stupid plans come from a genius at manipulating things still, they all fail.
By the way, Kendall is fine with me and doesn't compare to you in any way. Please stop trying to make us believe that. You are such a fraud because you are the one harassing Kendal then you post to complain about it and try to make similarities with your case! Just like your apk posts every time you feel frustrated because we expose you! See Chris, we have much more access to your stuff than you think so we know.
Oh, by the way Chris, nice video of your chubby hands playing with a doll. That's truly genious Chris! CROFLOL!
You are aware that you are replying to a well known Slashdot troll, aren't you?
Crash Dummy Redux == CDR == Christopher Dale Reimer == creimer. He has a total of 50+ sock puppet accounts on Slashdot!
Proof: They all post the same sock puppets karma whoring and/or bragging stories and/or spam links.
Here are two identical posts from 2 different sock puppets:

Last year, I proved to creimer that I was running a click bot to inflate the views on his stupid channel and he admitted it! He has even written about it on twitter, go check and you will see.
I specifically targeted music videos to make him believe that he had just discovered a new Klondike! It was very funny to watch him come on Slashdot bragging about how much his new music videos were successful before I finally told him about the click bot!
Then, when the party was over, I proved to him that I was the one inflating his views, I told him in advance that I would stop the views on one specific video which I did and he confirmed that fact on twitter.
Well, he just posted a imaginary story here where he pretends that pedophiles were looking at his kid music video. Maybe he figures that pedophiles are better click bait material. My bot isn't a pedophile! No pedophiles looked at his video at all!
See his post here:

He is such a liar and a thief! He will say or do anything just to get 1 click on his stupid videos which have amazon affiliate links attached to them all over the place!
