Politics: More than half of Europeans would gladly replace their MPs with AI, study finds

Well, you're not alone -- 31 per cent of Britons and more than half of Europeans would gladly replace their MPs with artificial intelligences. This finding comes from the latest European Tech Insights Survey report, which was compiled by researchers from the IE University in Spain. The results point to a growing scepticism surrounding'Big Tech' firms but, in the wake of a year of lockdowns, a greater willingness to embrace technology overall. For example, more than 40 per cent of respondents supported the use of controversial facial recognition tech for verifying the identity of citizens. And 64 per cent of Britons and and 72 per cent of Europeans said that they would like to be able to vote in elections using their mobile phones.
