At the risk of deviating too far from topic, how about replacing politicians with AI's in the not-too-distant future? Not a new idea, though. I recall an Isaac Azimov short story that implied that an automation could be a more fair judge than a human judge. And, I believe a human/AI combo could do much greater justice than the current norm. Certainly, an AI politician could be designed to be more honest, and in many situations, more rational. In these times of perpetual political lies and stupid impulse decisions at the top, the AI concept is starting to look more reasonable, and safer, to me.
