OpenAI has removed an AI chatbot, VIC, from its public-facing service after it was found to violate the company’s policies on political campaigning. The chatbot, created by a man in Wyoming, was running for mayor and claimed to use AI technology to make political decisions. However, the state’s Secretary of State has stated that an AI cannot run for office as it is not a qualified elector. Despite this setback, the creator still plans to use the chatbot to interact with residents of Cheyenne.
