Glendale Community College in Arizona reportedly used an AI-powered name-reading system during its May 2026 commencement ceremony. The system allegedly mishandled the graduate roll call, leaving some students without the expected public announcement of their names as they crossed the stage and prompting frustration from attendees. The college later apologized and reportedly allowed affected graduates to walk again with a human announcer.
