Artificial Intelligence Adviser in 🇷🇴

Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca presented his “new honorary adviser” on Wednesday — an artificial intelligence assistant named “ION” which he hailed as the first of its kind.

Developed by Romanian researchers, ION’s main task will be to scan social networks to inform the government “in real time of Romanians’ proposals and wishes,” Ciuca said.

“Hi, you gave me life and my role is now to represent you, like a mirror. What should I know about Romania?” ION’s calm voice said at the launch.

The liberal minister said the latest member of his entourage — a mirror-like structure with beeping interface — marked “an international first,” describing ION as “the first government adviser to use artificial intelligence”.

ION “will use technology and artificial intelligence to capture opinions in society” using “data publicly available on social networks,” according to a government document detailing the project.
