Το Συνθετικό Κόμμα (Synthetic Party), είναι ένα νέο πολιτικό κόμμα της Δανίας και διαθέτει ένα τεχνητά ευφυή εκπρόσωπο και πολιτικές που προέρχονται από την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, σύμφωνα με το Motherboard.
The new party is eyeing a seat in parliament as it hopes to run in the general election elections of the country to be held in November.
Το Synthetic Party ιδρύθηκε τον Μάιο από την ομάδα καλλιτεχνών Computer Lars και τον μη κερδοσκοπικό οργανισμό τέχνης και τεχνολογίας MindFuture Foundation. Το δημόσιο πρόσωπο και ο “ηγέτης” του Synthetic Party είναι το AI chatbot Leader Lars, programmed into Danish fringe party policies since 1970 and intended to represent the values of the 20% of Danes who do not vote in elections. Leader Lars won't be seen anywhere on the ballot, but the people who make up the Synthetic Party are committed to implementing an AI-derived platform.
Leader Lars is an AI chatbot that people can talk to on Discord. You can address Leader Lars by starting your sentences with a “!”. Artificial intelligence understands English, αλλά απαντά στα δανικά. Μερικές από τις πολιτικές που προτείνει το Synthetic Party περιλαμβάνουν τη θέσπιση ενός καθολικού βασικού εισοδήματος 100.000 κορωνών Δανίας το μήνα, που ισοδυναμεί με 13.700$ και είναι υπερδιπλάσιο από τον μέσο μισθό της χώρας. Μια άλλη προτεινόμενη change policy is to create a common Internet by the government, which will be equivalent to other public organizations.
The Synthetic Party's mission is also dedicated to raising awareness of the role of AI in our lives and how governments can hold AI accountable for bias and other societal influences.
The party hopes to add an 18th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to the United Nations' SDGs, which are targets related to issues such as poverty, inequality and climate change, to be achieved by all nations by 2030.
The Synthetic Party's proposed SDG is called Life With Artificials and focuses on the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence and how humans can be adapted and trained to work with machines.
So far, the Synthetic Party has only 11 signatures out of the 20.000 that would make it eligible to run in the November election.
