" A party head by unreal intelligence ( AI ) is undertake to hunt for Danish government " is a condemnation you ’d gestate to find in a sci - fi about some distant future which is bound to go well for the human beings . But , theSynthetic Partyis a real affair and it ’s go for to field an AI candidate in Denmark ’s November cosmopolitan elections , running on policies that have also been steady down on using AI .

At the head of the political party is a chatbot named Leader Lars . Surprisingly approachable for a politician , you cantalk to the AI through discord , by beginning your chat with an exclamation mark .

" I believe in equation for all people , regardless of race , sexuality or creed , " the bottold one human interviewer , claiming to be leftist . " I consider that everyone should have the same opportunities and that no one should be discriminated against . "

The bot is not exit - wing by accident . Its creatorstold Motherboardthat it had been trained on policies from fringe Danish party from after 1970 , with the idea that it would represent the values and policies of the 20 percent of Danish people who do not vote in Danish election . Unlike a draw of other politicians , Lars will in reality mind to the public and develop as a consequence .

“ As people from Denmark , and also , people around the Earth are interacting with the AI , they submit new perspective and new textual information , where we take in in a dataset that will go into the fine - tuning , " the creator of the labor told Motherboard . " So that way , you are partly developing the AI every meter you interact with it . ”

The insurance , you ’ll be relieved to learn , are more those of a benevolent AI caretaker than the first smash from Skynet .

" We will remove the cash assistance cap and the 225 - hour rule by securing a line for all unemployed people with eight hour of work per daytime for four years , also over a 10 - year flow , " a manifestoderived from AI promises , " as well as carry out the fresh citizen ’s wage [ … ] which gives the great unwashed NOK 100,000 . per calendar month from the state . "

The Synthetic Party is also predict a minimum income paid to students continuing in Department of Education .

Motivating the creation of the Synthetic Party is its Jehovah ’s desire to raise awareness about the character of AI in our life . The main goal is to get the United Nations to take up a new sustainability goal : to " see to it the safe , honorable and sustainable integration of Artificials into human lives and society " .

The goal , titledLife With Artificials , detail proposals for how we and AI could co - exist , and stay on to hold AI accountable , admit a target to make certain AI " must declare themselves " and be well identifiable , as well as ensure that they are able to explain their decision - prepare process .

Though the team have business concern about the initial consolidation of AI into government activity ( which has been judge , and not altogether successfully ) , their overall content is positive and sees a future where AI co - subsist with homo and makes society the better for it .

" The function of AI [ … ] is both to save the planet and lifespan on it , so that mankind has an intact and sustainable environs for next generations to survive . As Artificials may likely become smarter than homo , all knowledge must be shared for humans to learn quicker and to stay in ascendency of next technical developments . "

The company , though , is improbable to get onto the balloting in time for the November elections , with just12 signatures(at the time of writing ) compared to the 20,000 it would ask to field candidates , AI or not .
