Beastrabban has found a genuinely new angle on the general election with a clip in which Channel 4 talks to AI Steve, the bot standing for Parliament.
He writes:
Way back in the 1980s Channel 4 released onto our screens Max Headroom [pictured], the world’s first computer generated video jockey to entertain the nation with pop videos and witty banter. Well, Max himself never was really computer generated… But the series, and Headroom’s quips, wry observations and barbed comments, are fondly remembered by people like myself.

Now it seems technology is catching up, and has spawned AI Steve, the world’s first computer-generated politico. His image is based on his creator, Steve Endacott, a businessman who once stood as local councillor for the Tories.
There is a serious point behind this. Endacott states that there’s the danger that AIs can be used to spread fake electoral information, and we need strong legislation to prevent this from happening. We thus need people in parliament who understand Artificial Intelligence.
