Wyoming man who ran as a bot in an election concedes and forms alliance to integrate AI into politics.

On Wednesday, Victor Miller, the AI-powered bot named "VIC" in Wyoming's capital city, conceded his bid to make technological political history.

According to Laramie County records, Miller obtained approximately 3% of the total votes in Cheyenne's nonpartisan mayoral primary on Tuesday night, with a total of 327 votes.

On Wednesday, Planet Chronicle Digital reported that Miller and VIC were unsuccessful in their attempt to alter the definition of political machine in the capital city of the Cowboy State.

Victor Miller, the first person to put artificial intelligence directly on the ballot, has conceded the Cheyenne mayoral race. His campaign has marked a historic moment in politics and technology.

On Wednesday, Miller, who works at the county library and has an interest in AI, congratulated the primary winners. In July, he spoke with Planet Chronicle Digital about VIC's candidacy.

"Although we didn't win the election, we've introduced a new paradigm of governance and sparked important discussions about AI in public administration," Miller stated. "We've planted the seeds of a governance revolution, and they're already starting to grow."

The November general election will feature incumbent Mayor Patrick Collins and second-place finisher Rick Coppinger.

Miller, a former public records advocate, had grown disillusioned with municipal government's public face.

He stated that his experience working with AI programs enabled him to recognize the potential of the technology to comprehend and streamline legal processes without human mistakes or undesirable conduct.

This week, Miller announced the formation of the Rational Governance Alliance (RGA) with the goal of increasing AI's influence in decision-making processes.

Miller stated that the RGA will establish a framework for AI to assume complete decision-making responsibility in public office, with humans serving as the legal and physical intermediaries necessary in current systems.

"This method has the potential to result in more effective, open, and impartial administration."

Just before his final interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, OpenAI closed VIC's account, significantly impacting the bot's campaign. Although Miller could still utilize VIC's technology, it was a significant setback, he stated.

At the time, Miller stated that he never imagined running for office or doing so with or as an AI bot. He requested the assistance of technological leaders, including Elon Musk, to expand the possibilities of this new technological frontier, particularly after the OpenAI setback.

Musk did not respond to a request for comment at the time.

In Brighton, England, this year, Steven Endacott launched a bid for Parliament with the help of his bot "AI Steve."

Miller said he was thrilled to hear about a similar candidacy.

In the July election, Keir Starmer was elected prime minister while Sian Berry of the Green Party defeated the bot in the Brighton Pavilion parliamentary constituency, as reported by the British press.
