In a groundbreaking move, Steve Endacott, chairman of Neural Voice, is running for a seat in the UK Parliament with his AI avatar, “AI Steve,” leading the campaign. Endacott, a former Conservative candidate, is now an independent, using technology to enhance voter engagement.
AI Steve, powered by a sophisticated language model and a database of Endacott’s policies, allows voters to interact directly via a website. The AI responds to questions and gathers input from constituents, creating a dynamic feedback loop. If AI Steve encounters a new topic, it conducts research and involves voters in policy-making discussions.
This innovative approach has garnered significant attention, with over 1,000 interactions on its first night. AI Steve’s ability to continuously engage with voters and adapt to their needs marks a potential shift in how political campaigns and voter interactions are conducted in the future.
