“Libertarians, in general, tend to have an ambivalent view of technological advances, recognizing both the ways in which technology can help the public communicate and become less dependent on government, while also being rightly paranoid about how government will use technology. It is true that AI can improve government efficiency, and it does feel unwise to refuse to use it entirely. I certainly wouldn’t be shedding any tears if some low level government paper pushers lose their jobs to AI. (Athough the reality is that the number of bureaucrats has massively increased since the era when clerical work as all done on paper, and computers have demonstrably not reduced their number.) However, there are a few problems here. The biggest is what happens when AI decides something and no human will second guess it?” (07/30/25)
