The October 3rd City Council meeting in Beaverton took an unexpected turn when artificial intelligence (AI) bots infiltrated the public comments period, leaving attendees shocked and prompting officials to shut down the session. Callers, allowed to comment on local issues, unleashed a barrage of racial and gender slurs, revealing that pranksters had deployed AI bots to disrupt the proceedings. This incident, not unique in its nature, has occurred before in other cities, particularly those with Jewish mayors. In response to this technological interference, the Beaverton City Council is now considering prioritizing in-person comments to prevent future disruptions.
