Meet SAM, the world's first virtual politician . The AI-powered New Zealander talks to voters through Facebook Messenger, answering their questions about issues and elections.

"My memory is infinite, so I will never forget or ignore what you tell me.

The virtual politico added: "We might not agree on some things, but where we don't agree, I will try to learn more about your position, so I can better represent you."
