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?
Bro. Let's just develop an AI to do tax evasion to develop better taxes. There's no possible complications with an AI designed to do tax evasion controlled by a huge business services company. Bro it's gonna be siiiick.
If you designed an AI to make Capitalism as lean as possible this is exactly what would happen. It is going to take the most rewarding path of least resistance; which will 100% of the time not be what the original programmer intended, will cut as many corners as possible, and blur the "rules" as much as tolerance will allow.
