Show Notes
Brighton has a general election candidate who aims to be the UK's first AI MP. This development aligns with the prediction that 2024 will be the year of AI in politics. The candidate, Steve Endacott, is creating an AI avatar called AI Steve to represent him. He plans to offer 24/7 access to the avatar for opinions and policy creation. While some see this as a potential evolution in government representation, others question the practicality and effectiveness of an AI MP. It remains to be seen if this candidate will be taken seriously or if other politicians and celebrities will follow suit.
