A.I. And The Government

In a post Snowden world, would you be happy with politicians setting their sights on artificial intelligence as a tool set? Of course there are already many implementations of machine learning used by government and bodies surrounding it, but to actually start using it as a political platform? This is what I saw just a few moments ago, shared by a friend of a friend on Facebook. Mike Tolking, who really wants to be mayor of New York, is using an affinity for modern technology (or at least its buzzwords) to convince people to vote for him. While first of all I am not American, so I care a little less, and secondly not interested so much in politics (who can find the time these days), so I don't really care at all, I am very interested in the way he is portraying the current state of artificial intelligence.
