Sensay, creator of digital replicas fueled by AI, has established a government powered by AI on a real island which it bought off the Philippines. Previously known as Cheron Island, he was renamed Sensay Island.
The head of state (actually, the president) of the island of Sensay is the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, one of the five good emperors of Rome, who was known for his love of stoic philosophy and good judgment. British Prime Minister of Winston Churchill is the Prime Minister, while Sun Tzu, author of Chinese Strategic Classic, The art of war, takes the reins to the defense. Alexander Hamilton is the new secretary of the Treasury.
According to Sensay, “each replica of AI is designed to imitate the personality, values and decision -making models of the historical figure that it represents, offering a style of governance infused with timeless wisdom and ethical principles.
To really imitate the character of these historical figures, each lens is strongly formed on literature, teaching, philosophies and discourses of the real counterparts they represent. “”
The ease with which the replicas of AI of these disparate periods and with such strong characters will be able to work together in the government remain to be seen, because their contrasting values must surely compete in points, not to mention being in contradiction with modern values.
The complete cabinet
Here is the complete list of members of the cabinet of the island of Sensay:
Head of State (President): Marcus Aurelius
Prime Minister: Winston Churchill
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Eleanor Roosevelt
Minister of Defense: Sun Tzu
Treasury secretary: Alexander Hamilton
Minister of Justice: Nelson Mandela
Minister of Sciences and Technology: Ada Lovelace
Minister of Education: Confucius
Minister of Health: Florence Nightingale
Minister of Agriculture: George Washington Carver
Minister of the Environment: Wangari Maathai
Minister of Culture: Leonardo da Vinci
Ethics advisor: Mahatma Gandhi
Innovation advisor: Nikola Tesla
Director of infrastructure: Queen Hathepsy
Chief Strutor: Zhuge Liang
Head of intelligence: Te Lawrence
Personally, I think that Davinci was a wise choice for the Minister of Culture, and it is pleasant to see Nikola Tesla being recognized as an innovation advisor, but I must say that I am a little disappointed not to see Queen Cleopatra anywhere in the mixture.
Confucius also presents certain challenges as Minister of Education, given its ignorance of modern technology, such as AI.
A real island
The island of Sensay is indeed a real island off the coast of the Philippines. You can find it on Google Maps. It has an area of approximately 3.4 km², including the beaches, the tropical forest and the coral lagoons.
From what we can see, there does not seem to be no infrastructure of any kind on the island, so if you think of a visit, know that there is probably no Wi-Fi.
While a government of AI feels like a stroke of advertising, there are serious reasons for which Sensay has created an island of AI:
“Sensay seeks to demonstrate that AI can be deployed in national governance to help the development of policies without political partisanry and bureaucratic delays, and with unprecedented transparency and participation,” he said.
A fly on the wall
According to Marisol Reyes, the director of tourism (fueled by AI) for Sensay Island, with whom you can chat on his website, you can visit the island when you wish:
“Absolutely, you can visit our beautiful island!” We are delighted to welcome visitors to discover this unique mix of state -of -the -art governance and traditional Philippine Hospitality. The island of Sensay is open to tourists who wish to explore our virgin beaches, our dynamic coral sanctuaries and testify to history in creation with our revolutionary board of directors. ”
For those who cannot afford, the good news is that you can always get involved. You can soon register as an electronic resident of the island of Sensay, allowing you to offer new policies for its administration powered by AI via a free access platform:
“This will combine direct democracy with decision -making improved by AI,” says Sensay.
Dan Thomson, CEO and founder of Sensay, added: “This project shows the commitment of Sensay to push the limits of AI in a responsible direction. I hope that our approach will show public and global leaders that AI is a possible and effective way to develop and implement policies. “
Despite a civilization controlled by AI leading to human extinction (attempted) in just about all the major science fiction films that I watched in the past 40 years, of Logan’s race has The terminatorIt seems that humans are always determined to try.
But could AI really provide a more balanced and healthy government than our elected officials cannot? There is only one way of knowing it …
