Mayor Adams faces backlash over use of AI to generate robocalls in languages he doesn't speak

Adams has used AI tools to create robocalls promoting city events in languages like Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
The robocalls do not disclose they were AI-generated or that Adams only speaks English.
Watchdog groups have criticized the robocalls as unethical and misleading to voters.
There are growing concerns over the use of AI like deepfakes in politics and calls for more regulation.
Adams has defended the robocalls as an effort to reach diverse residents, but faces backlash over the non-transparent use of AI.
