• Victor Miller, a sci-fi enthusiast, is running for mayor with his AI bot, VIC, in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

• Despite the innovative approach, only 327 out of 11,000 voters supported VIC, with incumbent Mayor Patrick Collins winning the election.
• Experts warn that AI in politics is unprecedented and potentially dangerous, citing ethical and regulatory concerns.
