Deep reinforcement learning has trained AIs to beat humans at complex games like Go and StarCraft. Could it also do a better job at running the economy?
I don't know, I would have agreed with you in the past but Philosophy Tube's lecture on AI in warfare had a bit about how AI can have a lot of biases and unplanned biases that don't make them any more objective than their creator.
The point isn't for it to be objective, the point is for it to find solutions the human brain can't. I don't think anybody is in favor of just blindly uncritically following what the AI spits out.
That was one of PhilTube's weaker videos IMO, it really shows he doesn't have a STEM background, he makes a lot of weird assumptions about how technology works.
Actually on second thought I was talking about another video he made on AI, an older one. The later "Data" one is pretty good.
Regardless my point still stands, AI is not here to be an objective arbiter of anything, just do what it's told, meaning you'll still want somebody manually deciding the high level stuff about the economy.
