The leader of Denmark’s new party is an AI chatbot

The Danish artist group Computer Lars and the non-profit art technology organization MindFuture Foundation established The Synthetic Party in May this year, which, as the name suggests, advocates the harmonious coexistence of humans and AI. The party is trying to win a seat in November’s parliamentary elections. The public face and nominal leader of the synthetic party is the chatbot Leader Lars. It does not vote, it communicates with the public through Discord , it understands English, but responds to questions in Danish. Synthetic Party policies include pushing for a basic income of DKK 100,000 per month (twice the average salary), setting up internet and IT departments, raising awareness about the role of AI in life and how governments can hold AI accountable for things like bias. The Sustainable Development Goal proposed by the Synthesis Party is Life With Artificials, which focuses on the relationship between humans and AI.
