A candidate vying for the mayorship of Cheyenne, Wyoming, with an AI bot has been defeated in the primary election. Victor Miller and his AI bot VIC received 327 votes out of approximately 11,000 cast. Incumbent Patrick Collins and Rick Coppinger will proceed to the general election. Miller, who introduced AI directly into the election, expressed disappointment but highlighted the historic moment in politics and technology. Wyoming officials initially challenged the AI bot's inclusion in the race, leading to its name change to VICTOR. Technology firm OpenAI intervened, shutting down Miller's account due to policy violations. Despite the loss, Miller emphasized the introduction of a new governance paradigm and discussions on AI's role in public administration. Wyoming's crypto-friendly regulations have attracted numerous companies, with primary election winners including John Barrasso and Scott Morrow vying for a Senate seat in November.
