Mayor Eric Adams of New York is in some political "heyse vaser," as he might say in his fluent Artificial Intelligence Yiddish.
The mayor revealed to City Hall reporters this week that his office has been using artificial intelligence software to make robocalls about city hiring events in Yiddish, Mandarin, and other languages he does not speak, which, the mayor freely concedes, is just about any language other than English.
"People stop me on the street all the time and say, 'I didn't know you speak Mandarin, you know?'"
But Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, told the Associated Press, "The mayor is making deep fakes of himself. This is deeply unethical, especially on the taxpayer's dime."
