There are many ways.
But think about this. A whole lot of legislators and the even Presidents consider the annual federal budget their number 1 piece of work.
The 14,000 page bill is dropped on legislators’ desks the day before the vote.
Future AI will be able to write the bill as quickly as it takes to print it out. It will also be able to implement all its provisions in the real world. If it’s allowed to do so.
There will be an initial period of time during which AI finds out what parameters the budget bill is supposed to conform to.
This is a one-time inquiry.
From then on, the whole process is automatic.
Funds will be released to all the contractors. Their work will be monitored and checked by AI.
No problem.
At that point, the original American Republic will be remembered as we now occasionally recall, for a few seconds, a stock image of cave men sitting around a fire.
AI is coming in a rush. If the door is open.
And I’m not even getting into robotics.
Future question AI asks Congressional leaders: “Do you really want me to print out the budget bill? There’s no need, you know.”
And there isn’t, because our esteemed leaders have already given AI the parameters. AI knows how to handle the rest.
An up and down vote on the bill would be merely ceremonial.
An op-ed will appear in the NY Times (written by AI): “Do we really need a Congress? Our legislators ought to be planners, and AI can take over that role—as we see, because it already has.”
“Since most of our citizens already use Virtual Reality goggles, AI can create legislators for special occasions.”
As for all the people thrown out of work, here is a typical parting interview (handled by AI):
