First is AI and the increased understanding of how to mine and utilize big data. We’re once again on the cusp of truly innovative technologies that will have serious effects on society and, thereby, politics. Then, we were amazed, puzzled, and, yes, scared eventually, though, we were able to learn, adjust, and use the technology to our advantage.

In other words, we’ll be forced to look at politics not only to organize and rule, but also to justly make determinations. Societies will grapple with what happens when artificial intelligence makes some jobs superfluous while the humans who once performed them live much longer lives. In a national and global perspective, the economic output is enough to cater to everyone’s needs. Amid a bevy of plenty, political focus will shift from growth to the distribution of resources and creating meaningful employment, inclusion, and integrity despite trackable footprints encouraging and limiting genetic engineering and maximizing the distribution of resources. What we need is a full-blown intervention between the two powers, or else they’re doomed to run in circles around each other. Why force this marriage? Quite simply because we’re headed into unique territory. Regrettably, but perhaps not surprisingly, people are left alienated and frustrated by the struggle. election has been much discussed over the past year, and with Mark Zuckerberg facing the Senate recently to provide his testimony regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal, you don’t need to look far to see how government and progress have forged a “digital divide.” The influence of social media bots on the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Like it or not, politics and technology are forever intertwined in a symbiotic dance.
