Idaho preps to roll out artificial intelligence in state government [View all]
Visitors to the Idaho Division of Human Resources’s website can get quick answers from a new chatbot — powered by artificial intelligence, or AI — that combs through state government websites.
So, we asked it: “How many state employees does Idaho have?”
The chatbot’s answer didn’t make sense. The tool falsely claimed nearly a third of Idaho’s over 2 million population works for the state.
“Idaho has approximately 713,015 state employees as indicated by the most recent data available,” the chatbot replied.

Why? Not enough real intelligence.
