MP creates an AI version of himself and encourages his constituents to ‘embrace’ it
Politician claims he’s created ‘UK’s first virtual MP’
- Labour MP Mark Sewards has unveiled what he claims is the UK’s “first virtual MP”, an artificial intelligence version of himself.
- The AI prototype was developed in collaboration with Neural Voice, a company based in his Leeds South West and Morley constituency.
- Mr Sewards, who was elected in 2024, encourages his constituents to “embrace” the AI, stating that the AI revolution must be adopted.
- Neural Voice previously stood an AI candidate, AI Steve, in the last general election, in an attempt to reconnect voters with their MPs.
- The AI Mark is currently a prototype that will be further trained, designed to answer questions but not offer personal political views or discuss other politicians.
