The Local Government AI Bureaucracy: Why Your Town Hall Now Requires Three Different AI Agents To Agree Before You Can File A Complaint
SACRAMENTO — The dream of streamlined civic services ended last Tuesday, when the city’s AI department announced its new “Consensus Council” system, which requires three separate AI agents to unanimously agree on whether your complaint is valid before a human is ever allowed to see it. “We’ve reduced human error to zero by ensuring that three independent models, each with different training data distributions and safety filters, must all agree on a ticket’s validity,” said Mayor Elena Rodriguez, who has been known to apologize to servers after they accidentally refused service to her dog.
