Everything to know about the April 8 eclipse in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #eclipse #atlanticcanadaNEW YORK - New York City Mayor Eric Adams is defending the city's new artificial intelligence chatbot that has been caught in recent days giving business owners wrong answers or advice that, if followed, would entail breaking the law.

"It's wrong in some areas, and we've got to fix it," Adams, a Democrat, told reporters on Tuesday, emphasizing that it was a pilot program."Any time you use technology, you need to put it into the real environment to iron out the kinks." The chatbot remained online on Thursday and was still sometimes giving wrong answers. It said store owners were free to go cashless, apparently oblivious to the city council's 2020 law banning stores from refusing to accept cash. It still thinks the city's minimum wage is $15 per hour, though it was raised to $16 as of 2024.

The city has updated disclaimers on the MyCity chatbot website, noting that"its responses may sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete" and telling businesses to"not use its responses as legal or professional advice."
