Ok buddy, first off, you've got to spell check your work. See all those red squigglies? You need to fix them. There's real reasons behind all those spelling and grammar rules and while most of us here have enough language skills to see past your mistakes, it DOES hamper the conversation.
Beyond spelling and picking the wrong words, you're premise is nuts.
>lets day that there is a very advanced AI that has extremely complex prediction and problem solving ability.
That's easy because it's true. But complexity doesn't imply accuracy nor viable solutions.
>this AI could help governments take the objectively better choice when presented with an objective
Essentially already happening. Analysts really do use AI driven models at predicting the economy, political reactions, social reactions, and how well they'd poll after various decisions. They tell the leaders what will happen if they do X, Y, or Z, and then the leaders do what they want.
> BUT it would still be given a decision to take. i mean like, it would never be told by the goverment representstives: "ok whats the best way to make every citizen to hsve a better and happier life??". because the awnser would probably include the powerfull giving much of their resources/power.
....I'm pretty sure I get what you're saying and this is very on point. Because yeah, they all essentially know how to help the masses. They largely choose not to do that. People to them, like everything else, are just tools. You could run your engine at 1000RPM and go 45mph and the engine wouldn't have such a hard time: less wear and tear, fewer oil changes, easier braking. But you don't want to go 45. You want to go 80. And so you rev it.
>So, when this technology is at the necessary level, and it has been proven to be 100% effective
It is, right now, at that "necessary level". BUT, it will never be anything conceptually "100% effective".
>control of what the AI is beeing asked?
It's not really a matter of controlling what the AI is being used for. You can call up various sociologist at various academics and ask them to run their models for pretty much anything. It's work though, so don't expect free labor. But we don't even need AI to know that raising the minimum wage would help out the masses and raise the average quality of life in the nation. But the people in power don't want that.
You're trying to apply a technological solution to a political and socioeconomic problem. It's not a matter of finding the solution to the problem, it's that nobody in power cares about that problem.
