Prime Minister of European Country Names AI as Advisor

Both the rapidly increasing ubiquity and the power of AI can feel terrifying, but at least AIs aren't running the world yet, right? The country's prime minister Nicolae Ciuca has just announced an AI assistant called "Ion" as the government's "new honorary advisor." Now, my role is to represent you. Like a mirror," Ion said while introducing itself at a press conference, as quoted by The Washington Post. PM @NicolaeCiuca: As of today, the Government of Romania has the first government adviser running on AI, a good example of emerging technologies in public service.
