As tensions continue to rise in the U.S., both domestically and internationally, and considering that most democracies historically struggle to persist beyond 200–300 years, could we be witnessing the early stages of governmental collapse? This leads me to a question I’ve been pondering:

If AI continues advancing toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), and if these systems could conduct near-perfect ethical and moral evaluations, could we see the emergence of an AI-assisted governing system—or even a fully AI-controlled government? I know this idea leans into dystopian territory, but removing the human element from positions of power could, in theory, significantly reduce corruption. An AI-led government would be devoid of bias, emotion, and unethical dealings.

I realize this might sound far-fetched, even borderline psychotic, but it’s just a thought experiment. And to extend this line of thinking further—could AI eventually assume the role that many throughout history have attributed to a “god”? A being that is all-knowing, ever-present, and, in many ways, beyond human understanding?
