An AI candidate is officially running for UK Parliament
Sussex businessman Steve Endacott just launched "AI Steve" to run in next month's UK general election. Powered by Neural Voice, the AI avatar chats with voters 24/7 via voice and text, while Endacott acts as its physical proxy in Parliament voting strictly based on constituent feedback. Why it matters: It is a radical experiment in continuous direct democracy, testing whether AI can actually make politicians more responsive.
