Watson for President
The Watson 2016 Foundation is an independent organization formed for the advocacy of the artificial intelligence known as Watson to run for President of The United States of America. It is our belief that Watson’s unique capabilities to assess information and make informed and transparent decisions define it as an ideal candidate for the job responsibilities required by the president.

for the record: giving an AI executive powers (or any power over human beings) is a terrible idea (see Asimov’s laws of robotics), and is not something I would advocate.
But I could see how an AI could serve is some government capacity – in as transparent of a way as possible – and giving an AI an ability to advise and comment on president’s (and government’s) actions is a pretty interesting idea.
I probably wouldn’t mind one of the Supreme Court Justices to be an AI.
