An AI mayor has invaded Yokosuka. Mayor Katsuaki Kamiji has been ‘replaced’ with a full AI creation. This digital rendition can even speak English, unlike the real mayor.

In this lesson we’ll take a look at the videos released by the government in Yokosuka, see what said in English and discus some of the ethical issues surround this. A sign of the times or an unholy abomination? Let us know what you think.
