Comment on What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world?

Considering we have no consensus on what a suitable human president would be, I’m not sure how we can give parameters for a machine version.

I’m not sure that would be very difficult if we tried. The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits. By definition no human could satisfy them. But a sufficiently advanced AI might.

I disagree. The current issue is picking mutually exclusive contradictory traits.
One person will one religious freedom. Another will want a theocracy. Both of those cannot be true at the same time.

Conflicting things could be true at the same time in different places. Having one ruler doesn’t require one set of rules. There could be, and would need to be different rules for different communities.
One person who understands and is willing to accommodate that, is an example of the kind of super human trait I was referring to.

So its like what we already have today then, yes? What would prevent those different places from going to war with each other over their differences?
You’re providing another great example except I don’t think you intend to. Your hypothetical example for the perfect ruler is one that works to unify the world into a single culture. Thats one definition of genocide. I don’t actually think you mean for that, but your definition can certainly match the word.
Already you and I don’t agree on that path, because the ideas we have are mutually exclusive. We can’t have one part of the world that is working toward a single unifying culture while the other have embraces and celebrates the diversity of our many cultures. If one vision of the world is going to exist, one of those groups has to bend to the will of the other.
