Texas Gov.

Greg Abbott has notoriously been sending busloads of migrants to other major cities since April 2022.

.

The mayor of New York has had enough.

17 charter bus companies used by Texas to transport migrants have been sued by Adams, CBS News reports.

.

New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the cost of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas, alone, NY Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.

These companies have violated state law by not paying the cost of caring for these migrants, NY Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.

Adams is seeking $708 million from the bus companies as reimbursement for city costs to shelter, feed and provide health care to migrants.

Gov.

Abbott's continued use of migrants as political pawns is not only chaotic and inhumane, but makes clear he puts politics over people, NY Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.

Adams is also reportedly seeking the help of regional allies to stop Abbott.

I communicated with the governor of New Jersey last night.

We also spoke with the governor of Connecticut.

We've got to continue to reach out to our colleagues in the region, NY Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.

Adams' breaking point that prompted him to file suit was reportedly when Abbott circumvented an executive order limiting migrant busloads to New York... ... by sending asylum seekers to train stations in New Jersey that then took them to New York.

NYC’s AI Chatbot Has Been Telling Businesses to Break the Law

NYC’s AI Chatbot Has Been , Telling Businesses to Break the Law. New York City's AI chatbot was created to help small business owners, but it's been dispensing concerning advice, AP reports. . For example, many small business owners have been given inaccurate information about local policies or been encouraged to break the law. However, the city is not removing the chatbot from its official website. Instead, it has provided a disclaimer stating that the chatbot may "occasionally produce incorrect, harmful or biased" information. Critics say that the situation highlights the dangers of AI being used by governments without proper guardrails. They’re rolling out software that is unproven without oversight, Julia Stoyanovich, computer science professor and director of the Center for Responsible AI at New York University, via statement. It’s clear they have no intention of doing what’s responsible, Julia Stoyanovich, computer science professor and director of the Center for Responsible AI at New York University, via statement. There’s a different level of trust that’s given to government. Public officials need to consider what kind of damage they can do if someone was to follow this advice and get themselves in trouble, Jevin West, a professor at the University of Washington and co-founder of the Center for an Informed Public, via statement. Microsoft, which powers the chatbot, said it is working with the city "to improve the service and ensure the outputs are accurate and grounded on the city’s official documentation.". On April 2, Mayor Eric Adams said that letting users find issues with the chatbot is just part of sorting out the new technology. Anyone that knows technology knows this is how it’s done. Only those who are fearful sit down and say, ‘Oh, it is not working the way we want, now we have to run away from it all together.’ I don’t live that way, Mayor Eric Adams, via statement. Julia Stoyanovich, a computer science professor and director of the Center for Responsible AI at New York University, referred to Adams' approach as "reckless and irresponsible," AP reports.
