New York Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged to reporters on Monday that with use of an AI language program, he has made robocalls to residents of America's largest city in Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin, Cantonese and Haitian Creole.
New York Mayor Eric Adams has made robocalls to constituents using AI to translate his spoken word into languages he doesn't speak to better reach non-English speaking residents. Adams, the mayor of America's most populous city, has made calls to promote city hiring events in Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin, Cantonese and Haitian Creole. Adams only speaks English.
The calls come as regulators struggle to get a handle on how best to ethically and legally navigate the use of artificial intelligence, where deepfake videos or audio can make it appear that anyone anywhere is doing anything a person on the other side of a computer screen wants them to do. A bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate would ban “materially deceptive” deepfakes relating to federal candidates, with exceptions for parody and satire.
