January 30, 2026The AI That Andrew Gounardes Failed to Tell NYC About, But Mayor Mamdami is Doing Away With!

The City noted that Eric Adams started using the chatbot in 2023, but the chatbot provided answers that would lead to illegal behavior by businesses, like taking a cut of employees’ tips.
“When asked about housing policy, the bot suggested landlords could discriminate against tenants with Section 8 voucher.” Source:
This AI was estimated to cost $500,000. Source:
