Scott Adams, the creator of the office-themed comic strip “Dilbert,” isn’t laughing about the future of American democracy.
Having expressed his admiration for Donald Trump over the past few years, Adams believes the tech industry poses a threat to the president as well as to the country as a whole.
“I think President Trump will be the last pure human leader,” Adams told Grant Burningham, host of the Yahoo News podcast “Bots & Ballots.” “Everything after this will be a human and he will be elected, he or she, but the decisions will really come from the algorithm after that.”
The algorithm, Adams said, was the one unleashed on the world by Silicon Valley tech companies that has the power to shape popular opinion that, in turn, will determine how politicians express themselves.

I think he is correct, and someday soon the leader WILL be an actual cyborg.
By the way, why are we so helpless against this rush to the AI future? Is it because we cannot figure out who is behind it?
Or are we so addicted to the Internet and social media that we cannot "live" without them?
