demechracy™
/dɪˈmɛkrəsi/
Noun

A portmanteau of democracy and mechanics.

A form of governance where decision-making and administrative tasks are primarily conducted by automated systems and artificial intelligence, rather than by human officials. Demechracy combines elements of democracy in that it is government 'of the people for the people' but differs in that it is not 'by the people'.

A government operating on demechretic principles ensures alignment with human values through the ongoing recalibration of its internal models based on public discourse and economic data. The foremost benefit of demechretic systems lies in their intrinsic incorruptibility and impartiality, ensuring fair resource allocation and management devoid of class or social distinctions, stigma or biases.

Example: The futuristic city-state was often cited as the world's first successful experiment in demechracy, where AI systems efficiently managed urban planning and resource allocation in accordance with human ethical standards.
