    How can we use AI systems to our benefit?

    Join The Verge at the Chicago Humanities Festival this weekend for a series of panels focused on AI. I’ll be moderating a session on interesting applications of artificial intelligence, with artist X. A. Li and Google software engineer Zaria Howard. Hope to see you there!

    Maybe don’t listen to NYC’s AI bot.

    The city’s chatbot for business owners is telling people to break the law, including telling bosses they can take employees’ tips (they can’t), and that stores can go cashless (also wrong, as of 2020). The chatbot is powered by Microsoft Azure AI.

    Mayor Eric Adams has announced other AI tools recently, including a gun detection system that will soon be installed at subway turnstiles.
