In a groundbreaking move, Steve Endacott, a self-proclaimed capitalist with a socialist conscience, is set to revolutionize democracy by running as the world’s first Artificial Intelligence-generated MP candidate in Brighton on July 4. Endacott’s AI alter-ego, AI Steve, will answer constituents’ concerns and questions using a rendition of Endacott’s actual voice and an avatar. The AI will be directed entirely by constituents via AI Steve, making Endacott a mere vessel for the AI’s decisions. This radical approach to democracy aims to reconnect voters directly with their MPs, allowing them to have a more direct say in policy-making. The AI will record all questions from the public, and policies will be expanded via a cohort of voluntary local creators who will chat with AI Steve and propose policies for adoption. While some may be skeptical, Endacott is adamant that this is a serious attempt to reinvent democracy, and not just a PR stunt.
