I had this thought the other day while out on a run. I've done no research, and I don't believe I've seen this take on #AI anywhere else, so as of this very moment, it's a truly original thought (to me, at least). Full disclosure, this is a bit of a thought experiment, shitpost, mental exercise kind of post, so hear me out:
What if instead of replacing workers, programmers, writers, artists, engineers, etc. with AI, we replaced executives, starting with CEOs and politicians? So, basically, instead of starting from the ground up, we worked from the top down.
There are fewer executives than there are workers, so this would require fewer bots, which would hopefully mean fewer data centres. An AI with the right prompt/conditioning/logic model could, I think, be relied upon to make better, more objective decisions than any CEO or politician. The AI model would, theoretically, be outside of the realm of influence because it can’t own anything. Money has no meaning to an AI.
Some of the primary motivations, objectives of this AI could be something like: (1) primary goal is to save planet Earth while retaining the human population and increasing biodiversity, (2) don't seek to end the human race, (3) work towards diversity, equity, inclusion, (4) seek to re-allocate human resources instead of removing the human element from the equation.
These are just some random ideas for what the directives would look like, so you get the general idea. Also, I speak as if it's a singluar AI, but these would be general directives for all AI, at any level of government or corporation.
I like this approach because it solves a couple problems that we are currently experiencing: CEOs can't be trusted, politicians can't be trusted, wealth inequality is systemic, companies, corporations, and countries can’t be trusted to make decisions that have planet earth's interests at heart, and while I’m not saying we can trust AI, especially with this current iteration, I can confidently say that I trust a calculator more than I trust Felon Tusk or President Dump. Not to mention, this approach replaces the few instead of the many.
Just a thought I had, and I hope others will find it fruitful for further thought explorations.
