Ask HN: Computer Scientist as Politicians?

[machilin]

I was interested in the question about how computer scientist would perform as politicians. As far as I know, one person who seems to be pretty prominent in a government leader position is Herman Cain. Since computer science is a fairly new discipline and most of the world's leaders so far are not computer scientists. I would like to find out opinions on how a computer scientist would fare as a politician. Perhaps a more efficient and tech-driven governance? Will we one day see a president who is a computer scientist? That would be a really interesting question. Thank you.

Or how about an AI politician?

That would be an interesting thought. He would or rather it would be infinitely more rational than any politician in the world.
