My recent posts have promoted the concept of dedomenocracy as a legitimate form of government. In much of those discussions, I assumed that it was futuristic form of government because data technologies are not yet sufficient to automated normal government decisions. I’ve already noted that we are already seeing the authoritarianism of data in health care. A similar case can be made concerning metropolitan area decisions based on weather forecasts. In these areas, we are experiencing automated decision making where humans given no choice but to follow the recommendations from data (and in particular simulation models).
