AI Steve, an AI candidate in the 2024 UK general election, developed by Steve Endacott contested in Brighton pavilion but secured only 179 votes. The AI aimed to offer continuous constituent engagement but struggled to gain traction.
Mr. Endacott, unhappy with the usual way politics
is done, introduced AI Steve as a new kind of candidate. AI Steve, created
by the Neural Voice company, was designed to talk to voters all the time
and discuss different issues and policies.
AI Steve could chat with up to 10,000 people at
once. Earlier, the UK's election authorities clarified that if AI Steve
won, Steve Endacott, the human, would be the actual member of Parliament, not
the AI. Despite being the first AI candidate in a UK election, AI
Steve's campaign didn't receive much support.
In the Brighton Pavilion constituency, 70% of
people voted, and the Green Party's Sian Berry won the seat. AI
Steve finished last with 179 votes.
Labour’s Keir Starmer became the new Prime Minister, securing a majority government with over 326
seats in the House of Commons. This decisive win marks the end of 14 years
of Conservative rule, with Mr Starmer set to become the next Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom. Rishi Sunak, the incumbent Prime Minister, has
conceded defeat after multiple cabinet members lost their seats
