A technocrats actually makes sense. But that isn’t practical. People always at some point end up hiring their friends and putting people they know in positions of power. Nepotism and cronyism are just natural progressions, even when systems of governance start out with good intentions. Eventually someone always ruins it for everyone else.
Using AI to make decisions is an awful idea. AI is only as good as its training data, and is generally biased, and often makes up facts or situations that aren’t real but are convincing. You do t want that making important decisions for you.

Have AI suggest policies based on meta analysis of peer reviewed subject matter
Use a public block chain to make all government spending transparent

No it’s not. As I said, you only feed in quality peer researched knowledge
Garbage in, garbage out is true. So is the opposite.
Ya, my partner does research in machine learning. I’m gonna go ahead and trust her expertise over a random internet stranger.
It’s being used in policy making already.
