AI Steve: A businessman proposes the first AI MP Candidate for Brighton in UK General Election

A candidate running in the general election hopes to be the first artificial intelligence-powered member of parliament.

AI Steve is running as an independent in Brighton Pavilion and hopes to “bring politics into the twenty-first century” by being accessible around the clock.

The idea was to have an online avatar that residents could communicate and interact with; however, Steve Endacott, who is based in Rochdale, would represent the city and cast votes in the Houses of Parliament.

Steve, 59, stated: “When people speak with AI Steve for the first time, they’re astonished by how human-sounding and conversational he is.

With a response time of 0.36 seconds, he surpasses most politicians in speed and is on par with humans.

“MPs’ offices lose out on valuable information about constituents’ concerns and ideas because staff turnover results in a lot of time spent responding to emails about dog poop and dumpsters.

“AI Steve finds a solution to this by integrating cutting-edge corporate technology into the political process.

Since the technology is still in its infancy, some people may try to trip it up and miss the “point.”

“I think it’s brilliant, and I hope as many voters as possible get involved with him.”

Local “creators” would propose ideas under AI Steve, who is positioned as an independent standing in Brighton Pavilion, through online avatar chats.

Following that, the policies would be placed to a vote, and only those that received more than 50% of the vote would be adopted.

The populist ideas assert that they are “capitalists with a conscience.” A four-day workweek and converting parking lots into EV charging stations are two of his initial initiatives.

AI Steve will appear in Brighton Pavilion with non-mainstream candidates such as the Social Democratic Party and The Monster Raving Loony Party.

The primary candidates in the constituency are anticipated to be Sian Berry of the Green Party and Tom Gray of Labour.

Caroline Lucas declared she would not be running for reelection, which prompted the competition.

On July 4, constituents cast their ballots.
