That's why I see AI (with a clear set of provided objectives and guidelines, i.e., a constitution) as the future of government.
As dystopian as that sounds, it's the only way I see to truly rid ourselves of corruption.
Why would AI at that scale not have the exact corruptible inclination humans have?
Because unlike natural life, which has evolved to be highly competitive and self-interested, we would explicitly set the AI's objectives to always benefit society.
I don't know how any AI system would not eventually determine that humans are the problem. Sci-fi uses this as a plot numerous times for a reason. What humans are doing is not logical, and better choices can be made if it weren't so damn profitable for some to keep going as is.
