- Council Resolution on AI Usage: Atlanta City Council approved a resolution calling on the city to prioritize the use of “human-created visual media” in its communications due to concerns over misinformation and the public’s ability to distinguish factual from synthetically generated content, introduced by Council member Kelsea Bond.
- Concerns Over AI-Generated Images: Council members questioned the use of AI-generated images being used by the city on its social media pages, including images of unrecognizable body parts and smiling teens not actually at the rink, raising issues around AI’s impact on public communication.
- Olympic Cauldron Preservation: Discussions took place regarding the preservation of the Olympic cauldron, which Muhammad Ali lit during the 1996 Summer Games. Some council members preferred to move it to a different location, while others wanted it to stay in its original place on Capital Avenue.
- Blight Tax Proposal: The issue of imposing a blight tax to close abandoned buildings such as the incomplete Campanile under Peachtree Street was also discussed. Some council members argued for moving forward with the tax to improve the city’s neglected properties.
