Aside from the obvious Law is there another blocker for this kind of situation?
I Imagine people would have their AI representatives trained to each individual personal beliefs and their ideal society.
What could that society look like? Or how could it work. Is there a term for this?
(I’m ignoring technical issues and assume everyone is self-hosting a fairly reliable model)
I can see it having a role in low-stakes decisions in a direct democracy. An AI representative capable of giving answers similar to yourself would dramatically increase participation. Right now referendums have issues with attracting enough voters.
For example in Switzerland where direct democracy is regularly practiced, turnout is usually 40-50%. Other countries where it’s not common have much lower turnouts.
The huge issue I see it the inability of AI to change opinions. It can represent you at the moment you trained it, but opinions evolve and people change their mind.
