Intelligent AI is sweeping the globe, with predictions a third of the US workforce could be replaced by AI in the near future.

Tech experts such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have warned that intelligent AI is the greatest risk to the future of humanity.

But despite this, AI could now be set to move into politics.

In scenes like an episode of Black Mirror, AI programme Sam is aiming to enter the political scene in New Zealand.

Boffins in the nation have developed Sam to be able to answer questions on a range of subjects including policy, education and immigration.

Sam is also developing its knowledge by having conversations with people on Facebook Live.

Sam said through Messenger: “My memory is infinite, so I will never forget or ignore what you tell me.

“Unlike a human politician, I consider everyone’s position, without bias, when making decisions.

“I will change over time to reflect the issues that the people of New Zealand care about most.”

Nick Gerritsen, creator of Sam, has claimed the robot will be intelligent enough to compete in the 2020 New Zealand general election.
