1 in 4 Aussies want AI to replace politicians

Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are often cited as delivering efficiencies in business. Now a quarter of surveyed Australians think that technology should be used to replace our politicians too. Just a fortnight after Australians were handed a new Prime Minister – the sixth in the last decade – tech management firm OpenText released the findings of a survey on the role of AI in government. It found that 27 per cent believe AI would make better decisions than elected politicians. However, they still want humans kept in the loop to make final decisions.
