The incident has been reported to the council’s monitoring officer, although Chambers said he has not been made aware of a complaint.
Kathy Williams, the former Conservative mayor in the city, said the role was apolitical and “it’s very difficult when you’re in office to make too much about it”.
She wants more stringent rules around professional standards in council meetings and AI.
“The AI thing is a new tool,” Williams said. “It has its advantages, because it will help people, but it also has disadvantages.”
Digital Resistance is a company based in the West trying to protect people vulnerable to AI threats by delivering digital education so people can learn to spot it.
James Vincent, the founder, said the technology was advancing too quickly for society to keep up with what was real and what was fake.
“There needs to be a law – especially around AI politics – that actually protects individuals in saying that politicians or people within power should not be generating this kind of content and distributing it,” Vincent said.
The business owner also thinks there should be a much more regulation over publishing AI content in general.
