The Case for Political Superintelligence

The more I work with and study AI, the more I believe it can give every human being on the planet access to a sort of political superintelligence, if we shape it right. And that intelligence, in turn, can make governments smarter and more effective, representatives more faithful, and institutions more responsive than anything we’ve built in over 2,000 years of experimenting with democracy. Intelligence, alone, will not solve all our political problems—many of which are rooted in conflicts of values and positions that no amount of intelligence can undo. But, like previous information revolutions, it can certainly help.
