The outlandish and extreme comments made so far during this election season may have some wondering whether individuals with such strong feelings could ever provide rational and evenhanded leadership of an entire country. And then there are the obligations to donors, the pressure from special-interest groups, etc. Who can resist all that? Well, there are those who posit that a well-programmed robot could. You may not have heard of him, but Zoltan Istvan, of the World Transhumanist Party, is running for president, and he would be perfectly happy to have a machine as chief executive.
"I
would love to see a truly altruistic entity running our government," he says.
"Right now, all politicians, including myself, are motivated by
self-interest. This is just how humans are. So wouldn’t it be nice to
have something like a super-intelligent AI running things and it be
entirely after our best interest?":
