David Runciman, in his work, often analyzes democratic systems through various theoretical lenses, including but not limited to technocentric views. Given this perspective, which of the following scenarios would most align with Runciman's exploration of the potential future impact of artificial intelligence on democracies?
1
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabling people to vote directly on many more issues, thus leading to an enhanced form of direct democracy.
2
AI eroding privacy to such an extent that it undermines the privacy that is central to liberal democracy.
3
AI subtly altering the functioning of democratic processes so much so that while the system still appears democratic, most decisions are effectively made by technocratic elites.
4
AI bolstering the state's power of surveillance, leading to an Orwellian regime.
