AI picks a Prime Minister in Nepal.
What a wild moment — during anti-corruption protests in Nepal, activists literally asked ChatGPT who should lead a transitional government. The answer? Former chief justice Sushila Karki, presented as a compromise figure. 🧑⚖️
Things then moved to Discord: on the server Youths Against Corruption (130,000+ members), people voted online, and Karki’s name quickly rose as the community’s favorite. A mix of AI suggestion + digital democracy — ça fait un drôle de cocktail. ⚡️
Of course, many remain skeptical. Critics point out that legitimacy doesn’t come from AI prompts or Discord polls, and that real-world politics isn’t so easily “upgraded” by tech. But one thing’s certain: this shows how digital-native generations are reshaping the way political conversations unfold.
AI, crypto, Web3… the lines are blurring. The question is — will institutions adapt, or keep resisting until they break?
