NYC mayor says his AI robocalls are so convincing that people are stopping him on the street to ask if he speaks Mandarin

• NYC Mayor Eric Adams's office is using AI to clone his voice into languages like Mandarin for robocalls.
• People have even asked him if he speaks Mandarin, Adams said at a press conference on Monday.
• Adams also unveiled a new AI chatbot that he said will help small business owners.

If you've been living in New York City for the past year, you may have gotten a surprising call from Mayor Eric Adams speaking to you in Mandarin, Yiddish, or Haitian Creole.
