The mayor of Mykolaiv has decided to utilize artificial intelligence for conducting sessions

The mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, aims to incorporate artificial intelligence during city council meetings.

As learned from a YouTube broadcast, the mayor announced this decision on January 30 during a session of the Mykolaiv City Council.

Oleksandr Senkevych explained that reading a large number of draft resolutions takes too much time. Modern technologies could simplify this process.

– I am assigning our electronic management department, led by Mr. Yevhen Bohachenko, to explore the possibility of using artificial intelligence, specifically to create a voice text robot that can read out the titles and list of files for the minutes during the Mykolaiv City Council meetings.

He also clarified how he envisions future sessions.

– We discuss with the deputies which files will be on the agenda, mention their numbers, and artificial intelligence will announce the numbers of the draft resolutions instead of the chairperson. It does all this in my place. Meanwhile, I will be on video with you; we will be present at the session. This information will simply be recorded for the minutes, video, and audio recordings, – he added.
