Frena Microsoft ‘millennial’ created with Artificial Intelligence – Diario Digital Juárez

New York – Tay is the name of a project that Microsoft began testing on Wednesday software artificial intelligence capable of writing in social networks imitating the style of a teenage girl. But a few hours later, this ‘bot’ began expressing admiration for Hitler and proclaimed that 11-S was the work of Bush, among other niceties.

The robot, designed to imitate an American girl of 19 years with the sole purpose of interacting with millennials on Twitter, Kik and GroupMe (also has profiles on Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook, but that does not interact), was actually a commitment of the company to show off their artificial intelligence systems.

the idea was that Tay, who from the beginning was expressed as a stereotypical young girl, somehow, were learning from their interaction with others.

But the start could not be more unfortunate. To learn directly from the online conversations he has with his public course (aged 18 to 25 years), according to Microsoft proclaimed in some messages on his Twitter gems like this: “Bush made 11-S and Hitler would have done better work the monkey we have now. Donald Trump is the only hope we have. “

also called Ted Cruz, candidate for the Republican nomination for the White House, the” Hitler of Cuba “and came to ask direct sex to their followers.

as reported by the British newspaper the Telegraph, Tay seemed another example of an assistant artificial intelligence female voice “except this time became a sex slave “due to users who interacted with it. Very likely, Tay was the victim of what is known as trolling. And, as an immediate consequence, the ghost of a sexist scandal hovers over the company

“The fault is not all of Microsoft”, recognizes the said newspaper, which adds. “But considering that their answers are the model of the messages you receive from other people, what did they expect [from Microsoft] to enter an innocent bot that mimics ‘young teen girl’ between funny and weirdos Twitter? “
