Robot for President
I know this has the makings of a bad sci-fi movie, but its really the only thing I can think of that would work.
You see, you could lay out the code and algorithms that this robot would use for everyone to see. You could deduce everything that this robot would do in every single situation. The robot has no secret motives (assuming open source code and all). The robot doesn't care about anything, cannot be swayed by emotion. The robot doesn't do things to the detrement of the American people- its not programmed to do that. The robot is a just a series of if-then statements.
But then you encounter a problem- the robot is easily taken advantage of, because you can predict its every move. Humans interacting with the robot would make trouble. Therefore, ALL government officials would have to be robots.
Once in place, these robots can operate for a nominal amount of money.
Discuss.
