Record label drops AI rapper after backlash over stereotypes

A record label this week dropped an AI rapper after the biz was slammed for profiting from the virtual artist, said to be modeled on Black stereotypes.

Sanas raised $32 million in a series-A funding round in June, and believes its technology will help interactions between center workers and customers calling for help go more smoothly.

"Some Americans are racist and the moment they find out the agent is not one of them, they mockingly tell the agent to speak in English," one worker said."Since they are the client, it is important that we know how to adjust."
