We've heard of robots and AI (artificial intelligence) taking human jobs, but I bet mayors don't really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.

AI can't legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximise the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign as an AI Mayor. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having it collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.

"For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election," human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced. "Artificial Intelligence will change Tama City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics."

The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out promises of an AI utopia(乌托邦) and asking for support.

Some people called Michihito Matsuda􀆳s campaign a stunt(噱头), as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
