An independent candidate for Brighton Pavilion hopes to become the first "AI MP".

AI Steve, who describes himself as an "ultra-smart computer", will be standing in the General Election on July 4 for the Smarter UK party.

The man behind the computer, Steve Endacott, lives in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, but says he will use artificial intelligence to be able to speak to constituents 24/7 and create policies.

The "real" Steve will then attend Parliament in person to implement the policies and will stay at a second home he maintains in Brighton.
