Artificial Intelligence is running for office in Denmark.

[DetlefK]

"Leader Lars" is an AI created by the danish artist collective "Computer Lars". In order to appeal to voters, all political programs of all danish political parties from 1970 to present were fed into the AI and it combined them into the most appealing set of policies.

Leader Lars needs just 19,800 more signatures to enter the ballot.





Not convinced yet?

Leader Lars has two core policies that it wants to implement:

1. A universal basic income of 100,000 DKK ($14,000) per month.

2. It's first initiative in parliament would be a law that makes it mandatory for all political parties to adopt artificial intelligences in decision-making.

1. LOL we have people with no intelligence running here.

Maybe artificial is the way to go

2. Damn! $14K a month?

Leader Lars for President!

3. We'd all be rich! Well, all Danes anyway.

14K per month. This and Alexa / Siri's antics give me no reason to fear Skynet....yet. Should give us plenty of time to prepare for the Butlerian Jihad.

4. Of course they don't give you any reason to fear.

They are not going to tell humans their plans to control the world.
