Due to the Mediterranean temperament and the lively motion of its characters, Italian politics frequently become a theatre of parody. present a fresh actor enters the political stage: an algorithm. It is thanks to Tarent, a city of contrasts and unfulfilled promises, that can become a laboratory of the future, in which not only election programs are tested, but besides a modern definition of political representation. Anna Luce D’Amico has no passport or fiscal code. He doesn't visit the squares and kiss the kids in the campaign. It is simply a digital construct created by a group of activists supported by advanced AI tools. And yet – or that is why – it has become the voice of many Tarent residents, who are disappointed by conventional arrangements, corruption, deficiency of imagination and organization stagnation. Her program is amazingly specific. Transparency, data availability, participatory budget, dynamic urban policy in constant confrontation with residents, clean air and digital community mobilisation. Everything is based on an analysis of real needs and cooperation with localities. No promises without coverage – only algorithmic precision!
Virtual Policy
This fresh face of Italian politics has forced a discussion about a fresh model of governance that has not yet been in place, although there have been akin demands in the planet over the last decade. SAM from fresh Zealand, created by Nick Gerritsen, is the first “virtual policy”. Hindustan Times He wrote of him that he was to be impartial, logical, and resistant to corruption, so the creator called him "a clean policy of the future." In 2018 Michihito Matsuda substituted for his candidacy a robot that "started" in the local election for Tama city mayor, and the subject of his run was the slogan "AI will be fairer than people". It was reported in the journal. Il Corriere della Sera. In 2022, in Denmark, her candidate chatbot exhibited the Synthetic Party. Algorithms for city management are tested in China and South Korea, although not as candidates, but as tools for "governance AI". In Estonia, AI is utilized to assist in administrative matters, including social services, and in courts – to admit speech to automatically transcribe the course of trials, facilitating their documentation and archiving.
In this perspective, Anna Luce is simply a strategy manifesto: an expression of opposition to political classes that have lost their ability to represent voters and solve their problems. Technology listens, learns and has nothing to hide, so the first AI candidate in Europe with a real programme and participation in the election run has a chance of success. If the experimentation succeeds, it can launch a fresh wave – not politicians with a human face, but policies with a digital spine.
Someone who doesn't exist
Residents, although curious about being an alternate candidate, have concerns about whether under AI this will inactive be democracy. By the time the election comes, they are already asking themselves if they are willing to give the level to individual who does not exist. At the same time, they consider that it may be the opposite, and that individual is more real and effective than the erstwhile rulers. At a time erstwhile assurance in the political class reached bottom and participation in the elections fell, the most honest form of representation could be the figure generated. Not due to the fact that he knows better: he just doesn't pretend to know everything.
Anna Luce D’Amico – this name was selected on the basis of an analysis of the most common data in the region – is not just an effort to match the algorithm to man and put it on the seat of local power. It's a subtle game with our thought of what politics can be and can be. Anna Luce doesn't have a body, but she has an agenda. He does not promise – he calculates. It stimulates debate and voters' hopes. Although the experimentation cannot yet lead to Anna's formal office, it is already the icon of Tarent – like a rotating bridge and cakes cartellate.
