There is a great SciFi short story around this premise.

Essentially, a company starts building a AI's that embody the characteristics of past historical figures which develop inevitable cult followings as they're given a public voice. As the King Arthur AI runs for election with a nationalist movement that sweeps the UK (mainly England) by storm, the company, seeing the success of their King Arthur model, start to look to expand their business abroad to other countries and other important historical figures. Germany beckons them.
