Cuomo uses AI ad to depict himself driving subway, on floor of NYSE
New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo used artificial intelligence (AI) to depict himself driving the subway, working as a stagehand and standing on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in his first advertisement of the general election.
“I’m Andrew Cuomo, and I could pretend to do a lot of jobs,” Cuomo says in the 30-second spot, as an AI-generated version of the former New York governor is depicted performing various roles.
“But I know what I know, and I know what I don’t know. And I do know how to make government work,” he continued, adding, “There are a lot of jobs I can’t do, but I’m ready to be your mayor on day one.”
The mid-six-figure ad buy, which is set to air on broadcast, cable, streaming and social media, features a disclaimer over the AI portions, noting that “this political communication was created with the assistance of artificial intelligence.”
