Japanese party to install AI as new political leader

A small Japanese political party announced Tuesday it will appoint an artificial intelligence system as its new leader, following the resignation of its founder after a poor election performance.

For months, opposition groups have refused to recognize Embalo as president. At the same time, parliamentary elections have not been held since the […]
