* what if robots replaced...

 ...politicians?

seriously, what if AI robots (congressmen & senators representatives) were trained to:

• be impervious to lobbying,
• balance the budget,
• make health-care affordable,
• reward working citizens & legals,
• make the super-rich pay their fair share of taxes,
• be representative of the citizens whose states they serve,
• seek & promote peace,
• think/act globally and locally, having humanity's best interests in mind,
• prevent violent crime,
• make education/learning accessible & affordable,
• improve infrastructure,
• etc.?

think (for a moment, without a red vs. blue agenda): what else would you like a robot representative to do-be-do?

if those robots worked together, 

we wouldn't need democrats vs. republicans.

of course, this raises a host of other issues (e.g. who would be in charge?) but...
