In Political Automation, Eduardo Albrecht explores what input citizens have in how governments use AI in various domains, including policing, national security, and international peacekeeping. Drawing upon interviews with rights activists, Albrecht examines popular attempts to interact with this novel form of algorithmic governance. He then proposes the idea of a Third House, a virtual chamber that legislates exclusively on AI in government decision-making and is based on principles of direct democracy. Digital citizens, AI powered replicas of ourselves, would act as our personal representatives to this Third House. An in-depth look at how political automation impacts the lives of citizens, this book addresses the challenges at the heart of AI in government decision-making and offers a way forward.
