Former Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer has sparked a parenting debate after revealing she used her own artificial intelligence assistant to describe her daughter for a school assignment. Mayer shared the anecdote in a recent interview published by The New York Times, where she discussed how the tool generated qualities that she felt accurately reflected her child.
Mayer said a teacher had asked parents to provide three qualities that made their children special. Her startup's AI tool, Dazzle, supplied the answer, prompting criticism from people who questioned why a parent needed technology for such a personal task.
