I want to share with you a great idea called ALGOV'T, which stands for Algorithm-Driven Governance.
This might sound complicated, but in a minute you will see that it's actually simple and a really cool way to make our community and country better.
You know how sometimes decisions made by our leaders don’t seem fair to everyone?. Right?
Well, ALGOVT is here to change that.
It’s like having a super-smart helper that uses a lot of information to make sure decisions follow the rules, follow the values and principals that are the core of our community and are fair and good for everybody.
Imagine that instead of politicians, we have a big, powerful computer that has no interests of its own. It doesn't need donations, isn't influenced by corruption, do not how favors to his party or aliances, and doesn't suffer from a lack of knowledge.
This computer is driven solely by our constitution and laws, which, in fact, act as its operating system. And if we don't like what they do, we don't have to suffer a few more years to change them; we can fix their errors right away.
This computer has the capability to process vast amounts of information and make fast, accurate decisions. It can meticulously calculate the impact of every decision on our budget, assess our urgent needs, and align with our long-term goals.
It can accurately determine how many hospitals we need, what resources our schools require, or the best ways to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods and borders.
These are examples of critical areas where a country's leaders often fail to serve the collective interests, and where a computer can make much better, faster, and more well-planned decisions.
Such a supercomputer is designed to make decisions that are beneficial for everyone, adhering strictly to the collective will of the people, not just those in proximity to power.
It represents a big step forward in making governance truly representative and effective.
The best part?.
This computer doesn’t have favorites.
It doesn’t decide things because it likes someone more or because it wants something in return.
It looks at what’s really needed and finds the best way to do it.
But here’s something really important – this computer, or ALGOVT, is something we all can help with.
It's like a community project.
Since it’s open source for everyone to see and understand, not only for tech geniuses, we can all check it to make sure it’s doing its job right.
So, ALGOVT is not just a smart computer making decisions.
It’s a tool for all of us to make our country a better, fairer place.
It's about professionally collecting and executing all the good ideas and information we have, to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and receives what they deserve.
Let's state this loud and clear: Money is not the problem. There is enough money in every country to cover everyone's needs. However, there is never enough to satisfy everyone's greed.
Thank you for listening, and I hope you’re as excited about ALGOV'T as I am.
It's a new way to ensure that our future is controlled by the people, collectively managing the computer, rather than in the hands of politicians.
Even if politicians were theoretically honest and genuinely cared about the people, and even if they did not by default prioritize their own personal needs, along with those of their family, friends, donors, and party members, above the needs of the public.
Even in this hypothetical scenario with such ideal politicians, the reality remains that no human possesses the leadership capacity to make decisions that consider the needs and interests of everyone, not just those within their immediate circle of decision-makers.
What I am proposing is NOT! to put our future in the hands of computers.
Rather, it's about taking back control away from incompetent politicians. Under the current system, we, the people, don't truly and effectively have control over our politicians anyway. The goal is to place this control directly back into the hands of the people.
We can be in charge of a system where a computer, operating under our collective will, analyzes data and addresses our needs in line with common interests, laws, and shared social values. This approach isn't about letting machines rule over us; it's about leveraging technology to enhance our ability to govern ourselves according to the law, our social values and real time decisions.
I'm not suggesting that we should place blind trust in computers.
Not at all. What I am saying is what we all know, that politicians, with their inherent flaws and limitations, fall significantly short of a supercomputer's capacity to analyze data and make fair and accurate decisions.
Unlike humans, a supercomputer is less prone to errors and biases, making it a more reliable tool for equitable governance.
