An AI is officially running to be mayor

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, voters are set to choose their next mayor, with a unique candidate named Victor Miller running alongside an AI bot called VIC (Virtual Integrated Citizen). Miller's campaign promises to leverage AI technology for data-driven decision-making in local government. The duo proposes a hybrid approach where VIC provides insights while Miller executes the decisions legally and practically.

The candidacy of VIC has sparked controversy, as Wyoming law prohibits AI from running for office. Despite this, local officials have allowed Miller to run, emphasizing that the source of his advice—whether human or AI—does not affect his eligibility. This situation raises intriguing questions about the future of AI in governance and the potential for technology to influence political processes.
