Make them livestream all their meetings. Then you could employ specialists to pick through the proceedings.

Sometimes I think that the arrangement of local governments makes more sense for the days of horses and telegrams than it does today.

You just reinvented journalists, because it doesn't really matter if they're in the room or not. It's the picking through hours and hours of meetings and making something meaningful from those pickings, and maybe talking to some people outside the room too.

These could then be replaced by AI, preferably one that was built in an open manner.

How will your train your AI for that? How far as I know there is no AI remotely able to identify the important bits, put them in context and explain them clearly. This is very far away.

I agree, but it would have the data all previous recordings and news generated from it. Plus by open manner I meant that people (think the larger masses) would help in training it in the future as well.

Eventually, but most likely not in the next decade or two, or three.
