Moreno Valley has begun using a translation service powered by artificial intelligence.
Wordly provides audio-to-text translation at public meetings and other events, according to a statement on the city’s website.
“By leveraging AI translation, Moreno Valley is modernizing its public services and reinforcing its dedication to accessibility and community engagement,” the statement reads. “The addition of Wordly underscores the City’s commitment to fostering inclusive governance.”
