Do you see AI playing a significant and active role in politics anytime soon?

Do you mean as an actor? e.g. IBM's Watson for Mayor or something? I'm not sure that will ever happen, certainly not anytime soon. Otherwise technology will be used/improved like most aspects of life.

No. That would probably require AGI, and AGI is a pipe dream. General intelligence requires consciousness, and consciousness can't be an algorithm. Perhaps AI/ML can be used for some limited aspects of civil/economic/whatever planning though, which could perhaps intermingle with politics.
