New York City’s AI chatbot that advises businesses continues to provide inaccurate and illegal guidance, despite Mayor Eric Adams acknowledging issues and promising improvements after an investigation revealed the bot’s troubling responses on labor laws, housing policies, and consumer rights. While the chatbot’s website now has more prominent disclaimers calling it a “beta product” that may give “inaccurate or incomplete” information not to be used as legal advice, the bot itself remains unaware of these disclaimers and still encourages illegal behaviors like taking workers’ tips, discriminating against housing voucher recipients, and withholding rent improperly when asked direct questions by users.
