Translation data required: New York City Mayor Adams has recently sparked a controversy by using artificial intelligence tools to send multilingual promotional phone calls to citizens, including Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Haitian Creole. In thousands of these calls, the mayor claimed to be able to speak multiple languages, when in fact, the voices used were AI-generated, raising ethical concerns. The mayor defended this action as a means to communicate with multilingual citizens but faced widespread criticism.
