I won't say anything without my lawyer sir.
No seriously these kind of posts annoys me as most people will mostly say secretly popular opinion. A true unpopular opinion could get you potential trouble with 1/ online users 2/ the law
Once again, most people would agree with you I am sure. Besides, the country you just described is called Switzerland. They rely a big part of their laws on direct democracy. People vote for all kind of stuff
Well it went wrong in the Netherlands when they implemented a self-learning AI to automate their childcare benefit system. https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/ai-decoded/a-dutch-algorithm-scandal-serves-a-warning-to-europe-the-ai-act-wont-save-us-2/
You will always rare conditions, exceptions among a population, so It does not go along well with an algorithm
