Artificial intelligence is starting to become a part of everyday life, even by helping to fix potholes among other things in the city of Fairfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meet Archie, the city of Fairfield\u2019s artificial intelligence aid. Archie can be accessed by clicking on the \u201cLet\u2019s Chat\u201d bubble on the City of Fairfield\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s named after our famous arches that stand on Texas Street downtown,\u201d said Fairfield city communications manager Bill Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Way added, \u201cArchie also integrates with that app so people can report a pothole and water leak, graffiti, broken streetlights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To modernize its approach to helping its residents, Fairfield turned to the tech realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn issue can be reported in real-time as opposed to calling staff and contacting staff and waiting for it to be filled out,\u201d Way said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, Archie came into being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can speak a language and Archie can respond in up to 71 languages by providing links and information,\u201d Way said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how does it help? It can categorize requests, delegate responsibilities and even help non-native speakers of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot everybody wants to go to a city website, but the familiarity of a similar language, maybe it is more inviting,\u201d Way said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Way also said other cities are interested in Archie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn our local networking groups,\u201d he said. \u201cThey do have questions about Archie and they do inquire about information, so it\u2019s nice to get the good feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The City of Fairfield is inviting its residents to try and stump Archie so that it can continue to learn and better serve the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
