Safety Code 6<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe code is a mandate from Health Canada that limits\u00a0 human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy from wireless equipment to a 3 kHz to 300 GHz range, based on research about health effects of the exposure. The mandate was last reviewed in 2014, when experts decided that there were no health risks associated with exposure below the limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, after Brenner presented the motion, Robinson jumped in, asking to be the one to second the motion or bring it forward, claiming that she had already brought up the need to update the code.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knew that I was going to bring forward this motion. I mentioned it at the meeting, but he is jumping on it again. So, I\u2019m very, very disappointed in council,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, seconds following her remarks, a robotic voice said, \u201cHere\u2019s a clear and assertive version: \u2018I want to be clear, I was the one who,\u2019\u201d before the voice was muted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the incident, Cook said \u201cOK, now we heard her Siri,\u201d before carrying on with the meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident caused backlash online, with some users reflecting on the use of AI tools, and calling the moment \u201cembarrassing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn people are really doing this? Weird times we\u2019re in,\u201d one person said on Reddit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my experience there are definitely people who constantly use ChatGPT as a reference or go-to so no, sadly this did not surprise me,\u201d another person said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s embarrassing, especially given how childish and rambling the speech was,\u201d a different person said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Siri is a councillor of Pickering?\u201d another user suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now Toronto reached out to Robinson for comment, but is still awaiting a response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
