> In a second, more concerning scenario, the emphasis on speed and American AI dominance could overshadow the safeguards. Agencies might rush deployment, overuse the waiver provisions for high-impact systems, and prioritize efficiency metrics over impact assessments. The DOGE team's reported use of AI for monitoring staff communications suggests this path is already being pursued in some corners of government. Should this approach predominate, public trust will likely erode further, potentially triggering a backlash that hampers legitimate AI adoption across all levels of government.
Why not just let AI do the voting in elections and setting the public's trust & sentiment towards AI?
That way we will not need to worry about AI adoption being hampered.
This is basically the central theme of one of Asimov's short stories. In the story a giant computer called the multivac selects one person that it deems statistically representative of the entire nation, asks them a couple of questions then uses their answers to "elect" the next president.
BallotProof can be used to automatically reject and/or generate ballots, and some of the creators went on to get hired at DOGE. Maybe we're on that path already?
