Wyoming man bots his way into politics with AI alliance.



Article Summary

TLDR:

Key Points:

  • Victor Miller concedes in the AI-powered mayoral race in Cheyenne, Wyoming
  • Miller launches Rational Governance Alliance to expand AI’s role in politics

Summary:

Victor Miller, running as ‘VIC’ or ‘Virtually Integrated Citizen,’ placed fourth out of six candidates in Cheyenne’s nonpartisan mayoral primary. Despite his loss, Miller conceded graciously and announced the formation of the Rational Governance Alliance (RGA) aimed at injecting AI into politics. The RGA plans to create a framework for AI to take on decision-making responsibilities in public office with humans as intermediaries. The setback Miller faced when OpenAI shuttered VIC’s account did not deter him from seeking support from tech leaders like Elon Musk. While AI in politics is still a nascent concept, similar attempts have been made in the U.K. with mixed results.
