To YOU luckybit, you're really onto something here!
I completely agree. Constitutions, congress, primitive voting once every 4 years, and all that just polarize people and don't work, and we can obviously do way better.
I also think algorithmic voting and AI must be a big part of the most successful future methods of governance. But this isn't everything. I don't know what side of the 'global warming is a problem' fence you are sitting on, but let's just assume, for a moment, that there really isn't as much "scientific consensus" as some experts claim there is on this issue, and that in fact all the time so many experts are wasting on this, could be channeled to something that would benefit society trillions of times more than all the brain power currently being spent on getting everyone to fear global warming. Let's say an algorithm/AI is able to see this? What do you do then? How do you get all these so called expert consensus scientists to abandon all the effort they are wasting, and get them to put some of their capital towards something of value? Heck, let's say an AI can see that DPOS is way better than prof of waste? How do you get all the people investing in mining, to change dirrections towards something that will help the world?
In fact, just the idea of 'voting' seems a completely wrong paradigm. 200 years ago, wee needed a way to take the power away from the guy at the top, and give more power to the guy at the bottom, so we came up with Voting, once every 4 years, as a step in the right direction.
To me, it isn't about voting, it is all about consensus building. For example, you have started a spark, here, and multiple people are jumping on board. The question is, how do you measure how successful you are being, compared to other critically important issues, and also, how do you get something like this to quickly educate and scale to include millions of people? As other have pointed out, it takes millions of dollars and man years to develop the kind of AIs you are talking about. So how do we build enough consensus, to commit enough capital. to get it done. If you think about it, the only hard part, is building enough consensus. Once you have enough supporters of any idea, no matter how costly, it will just happen. Building consensus, and getting everyone on board is the only hard part.
