British political candidate used AI to build policy platform to create 'meaningful participation'

Seekr Technologies CEO Pat Condo spoke with Fox News Digital about a partnership with Bear Grylls to encourage digital media literacy among young people. An aspiring British politician crowdsourced his platform and used artificial intelligence (AI) to build his manifesto, a "brave" measure despite its seeming failure, according to one expert. "Andrew Gray had a brave idea, but having finished 11th out of 13 candidates and with just 99 votes, I wouldn't expect mainstream politicians to rush to copy his tactics just yet," Alan Mendoza, co-founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital. "That said, it's clear that AI is going to have an impact on how political parties in the U.K. source and target data going forwards, as well as focus their campaigns," he argued. "We may not have to wait that long for the first AI-inspired victorious candidate, but they will undoubtedly emerge from one of the major parties, with all the electoral advantages they already possess."
