The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
It's okay, OP, I want to live in the Culture, too.

It can begin in the US. You need to update the social contract with modern telecommunications - everyone from the janitor to the CEO will be an 'independent contractor' with clear responsibilities and compensation. The 40 hour work week will be replaced with a more dynamic system of a primary profession and secondary 'public' jobs like driving and park maintenence.

It's less about AI and more about IT - the administrators of such a new state would all be elected and the unelected middle managers of today would be replaced by direct communication and 'crowdsourcing'.

Just post the name of your startup already.
