Voice recognition technology often fails to accurately interpret regional accents, leading to challenges for a new AI chatbot representing Leeds MP Mark Sewards. Launched by a local startup, Sewardsbot communicates in Sewards' voice, providing assistance and recording conversations to identify key topics among constituents. However, it struggles with colloquialisms and regional dialects, evidenced when it initially misinterprets a common Leeds greeting. Despite understanding broader topics like Gaza, it lacks clarity in conveying governmental positions on issues raised by constituents.
The chatbot, billed as the first AI version of an MP, responds in Sewards's voice with advice, support or by offering to pass on a message to his team but only if it understands you.
Sewardsbot handles this well, understanding that I'm broadly talking about Gaza, though doing nothing to explain the government's position.
