Staunton, May 17 – Asked whether they would favor replacing officials with artificial intelligence algorithms, nineteen percent of Russians say they support such a change completely while another 35 percent say that they are more inclined to support it than oppose it, according to a new SuperJob poll.
Exactly which officials might be replaced and how such a system would work are far from clear, but this majority may give Putin yet another means to save money by getting rid of some officials by arguing artificial intelligence will do a better job than humans (superjob.ru/research/articles/115309/k-perspektive-zameny-chinovnikov-i-deputatov-na-ii-kazhdyj-vtoroj-rossiyanin-otnositsya-polozhitelno/).
One of its attractions to the population, of course, is that the algorithms will supposedly generate the same outcomes to the same problems, a sharp contrast to the current situation where officials are often influenced by a variety of things irrelevant to their tasks, including but not limited to corruption.
