AI vs. human leadership: Debate over plan to govern Cheyenne with AI

August 27, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

AI technology could drastically reduce inequalities and expand access to services in local and state governments, many believe.

Artificial intelligence could soon be governing a city in the United States — at least if one American mayoral candidate has his way.

Victor Miller recently threw his hat into the ring for mayor of Cheyenne, Wyoming, pledging to manage the 65,000-person city exclusively with a generative AI bot he built himself — called VIC, or Virtual Integrated Citizen.

He argued that it could quickly scan heaps of municipal documents, summarize events and render error-free judgments in near real-time. Its rulings would also be objective — without fear of favor or influence from lobbyists — which would be good for democracy.

Candidate and AI bot come in 4th in Cheyenne’s mayoral primary

August 21, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The VIC bot and its “meat avatar,” Victor Miller, got 327 votes in Cheyenne, losing a primary election to incumbent Mayor Patrick Collins and two others.

A candidate running for the mayor of Cheyenne in the US state of Wyoming with an artificial intelligence bot has lost the primary election.

In results announced by Laramie County on Aug. 20, officials tabulated that nonpartisan candidate Victor Miller and his AI bot VIC — Virtual Integrated Citizen — got 327 votes from Cheyenne residents out of the roughly 11,000 cast in a primary election. Incumbent Patrick Collins, who has served as mayor of the Wyoming capital city since 2021, and Rick Coppinger will advance to the November general election.

“As the first person to put artificial intelligence directly on the ballot, offering voters the novel choice of AI governance, our campaign has marked a historic moment in politics and technology,” said Miller in an Aug. 20 concession statement. “I served merely as the necessary human interface to get this new form of intelligence on the ballot, since current laws don’t allow AI to run independently.”

Wyoming mayoral candidate wants to run capital city with AI bot

August 20, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Victor Miller entered the race and now uses a nickname to distinguish himself from the “Virtual Integrated Citizen, The Official Robot” he says is on the ballot.

Victor Miller, a nonpartisan candidate running for the mayor of Cheyenne in the US state of Wyoming, has proposed running the city with an artificial intelligence bot sharing his namesake.

In a speech before a Cheyenne library on Aug. 16, Miller reportedly suggested that if elected to be the city’s mayor in November, he would launch an AI bot named “VIC” — “Virtual Integrated Citizen” — to take over running the local government. The mayoral candidate faces several challengers to his proposed campaign, including incumbent Patrick Collins.

According to the Washington Post, technology firm OpenAI shut down Miller’s account after he attempted to use its software for the VIC bot. The company’s policies prohibited “engaging in political campaigning or lobbying, including generating campaign materials personalized to or targeted at specific demographics.”
