Direct democracy is not without problems. It would be impossible for the public to decide about the myriads of details of all practical matters in all branches of government. Referendums are problematic, too, because choosing the issue to have a referendum about and the exact framing of the questions are of vital importance. I think the most feasible form of direct democracy in the future is one where the citizenry collectively defines broad political goals and preferences while leaving the negotiation process and the implementation details to AI systems.
