Are you sure?

	Human	AI/Robotics
Can be corrupted?	Yes	No
Can have life events which means time off needed (death in family, someone got hurt, house on fire, etc)?	Yes	No
You have to legally pay?	Yes	After it is bought off no unless if it requires a subscription
Can work 24/7?	No, there is laws + the human body won't allow it	Yes, unless upkeep needs to happen. With software AI this isn't really a thing.
Can have scandals which reflect badly for a gov or company?	Yes	No

I think it is likely one day AI will run the gov. And I think we all will be far more happy with that.

Since I am involved in my agencies current software update, yes.

We are currently updating our front end from ActiveX to a front end more appropriate to 2010. We are looking at 3-5 years for all projects to be completed.

The back end is running on an Access database. Updating the back end is not part of the contract.

Once in place, the new systems are supposed last at least 20 years. I will be retiring by then.

What I was talking about is AI itself being the boss and what not.

Like I think this is going to take decades or more. It has to be tested, and then actually implementing it.

I think anyone working today almost any job is safe. At least those older than 35. But many will be the last generation. Like it is likely in 30 years a lot of jobs will be starting to be slowly replaced by AI or robotics.

None of this is happening in the next few years.

And the government will be another 30 years behind that.

Assuming you can get politicians to vote to replace themselves or convince the general population to go along with being governed by computers.

Neither is likely on any time scale, no matter how advanced the AI is.

Something you left off you chart is trust. A lot of people will not trust computers to govern or make decisions that affect how they are governed. It won’t matter how good the computers might be at it.
