Why it matters
The rejection means Denver City will not renew the contract for the AI service. The service had been used to handle 40 percent of the city’s 311 contacts and was defended by the Mayor’s administration based on high customer satisfaction.
The city council rejected the contract extension due to concerns regarding job loss and the chatbot's inaccuracy.
