Hahaha, I'd vote for it ... seriously. I'd rather have an AI that would base their decisions on what it perceives to be the most favorable outcome without the emotion and corruption of humans. AIs in general seem like they would be ideal in many areas of legal judgement. They can maintain and access effectively infinite disparate judgements, legal esoterica, and precedent with absolutely perfect accuracy and their judgements can be made with 0 bias or prejudice. For that matter we could even setup sites where you could have instant access to the judge to ensure something would be legal to do or ask about the exact steps required to ensure it's legality. For instance, imagine you wanted to setup a shop selling sandwiches on the side of a public street. One can only imagine the gazillion documents and regulations you'd need to follow. It'd be amazing if you could ask an online judge who would instantly provide you all the answers with perfect and legally binding detail. If a cop comes by, you have your legally binding document and so long as you can prove you've followed every specific step - you're 100% legal. Or we could stop having so many stupid laws, but I digress.
An economy managed by an AI still wouldn't be as efficient as a free market. 300 million people making decisions in their own best self interest is more efficient than a computer making those decisions for them. People are better at judging their own self interests and people have better information for decision making.

No, why, they're all valid points.
The only problem is that the thing is programmed by people of course, so we cannot know for sure if it'll be 100% free of prejudice or dirty tricks, but we can at least demand opensourcing the code and making it's log public. There will always remain plenty of possibilities to fuck with it by those who manage it, but it's already one major improvement over what we have now.

That depends on the techniques employed in creating the AI. If it's a neural network, it's incredibly unlikely that a human can even understand, let alone directly alter its programming.

Ha, I was jokingly mentioning replacing leadership with an AI a while back, and how it would probably never happen because of movies like Terminator and The Matrix, but I see not everyone has dropped the idea entirely.
He It has my vote!
