    I could see an AI being up to the task.

    There are no such things as AIs, but other than that, sure!

    At least with such an artificial system, you can hard-code guardrails and a constitution that a parliament can agree upon.

    You can bake in biases that you don’t even know are biases, which hands power to a certain group, and then that group refuses to fix the “AI” because doing so would reduce their power.

    I don’t think anybody who works with computers would suggest that a computer be put in charge. It seems mostly to be the idea from people who only look at computers from afar and see them as these logical, unbiased oracles, which they’re not.
