What if governments used AI to make policy decisions, allocate resources, and govern citizens? AI-powered governance could reduce corruption, bias, and inefficiency — making decisions based purely on data and logic.

However, entrusting AI with political power raises fears about transparency, accountability, and loss of human judgment. Would citizens accept “algorithmic rule”? Could such systems be manipulated or fail catastrophically?

As experiments in e-governance and algorithmic policymaking expand, society faces a critical choice: embrace AI as partners in governance or insist on human-led democracy.
