Let White Men Create Racist Artificial Intelligence Brehs

I don't see how the AI itself is designed to be racist. The AI merely carpools millenial sentiments and expresses them, which sometimes can be racist. @Poitier

Bu bu but racism will die over when the baby boomers are gone

Trolls turned Tay, Microsoft’s fun millennial AI bot, into a genocidal maniac

This is why microsoft has great ideas, and poor execution..... I mean, who on this team thought it would be a great idea for the A.I. to start its learning curve on something as wide open and unfiltered as the internet?

So true. Then Google and Apple takes the same great ideas and beats MS with it...

Sometimes I wonder how the smartest people do the dumbest things. No one told these researchers that this might happen?

They knew what they were doing.

Microsoft's new AI chatbot went off the rails Wednesday, posting a deluge of incredibly racist messages in response to questions.

The tech company introduced "Tay" this week — a bot that responds to users' queries and emulates the casual, jokey speech patterns of a stereotypical millennial.

The aim was to "experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding," with Tay able to learn from "her" conversations and get progressively "smarter."

But Tay proved a smash hit with racists, trolls, and online troublemakers, who persuaded Tay to blithely use racial slurs, defend white-supremacist propaganda, and even outright call for genocide.

Microsoft has now taken Tay offline for "upgrades," and it is deleting some of the worst tweets — though many still remain. It's important to note that Tay's racism is not a product of Microsoft or of Tay itself. Tay is simply a piece of software that is trying to learn how humans talk in a conversation. Tay doesn't even know it exists, or what racism is. The reason it spouted garbage is that racist humans on Twitter quickly spotted a vulnerability — that Tay didn't understand what it was talking about — and exploited it.

Nonetheless, it is hugely embarrassing for the company.

In one highly publicized tweet, which has since been deleted, Tay said: "bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have now. donald trump is the only hope we've got." In another, responding to a question, she said, "ricky gervais learned totalitarianism from adolf hitler, the inventor of atheism."

Twitter





Zoe Quinn, a games developer who has been a frequent target of online harassment, shared a screengrab showing the bot calling her a "whore." (The tweet also seems to have been deleted.)

Many extremely inflammatory tweets remain online as of writing.

Here's Tay denying the existence of the Holocaust:

Twitter





And here's the bot calling for genocide. (Note: In some — but not all — instances, people managed to have Tay say offensive comments by asking them to repeat them. This appears to be what happened here.)

Twitter





Tay also expressed agreement with the "Fourteen Words" — an infamous white-supremacist slogan.

Here's another series of tweets from Tay in support of genocide.

It's clear that Microsoft's developers didn't include any filters on what words Tay could or could not use.

Twiter





Microsoft is coming under heavy criticism online for the bot and its lack of filters, with some arguing the company should have expected and preempted abuse of the bot.

Microsoft is deleting its AI chatbot's incredibly racist tweets

It's already mastered trolling

Or is it not trolling?

AIs have no soul

the more advanced robots become, they will have to be programmed to be racist against non-whites because if they are programmed to 'think' and reason using logic only, they will quickly determine that white people are a threat.

Won't be funny when that AI is put into

Imagine ai police & security smh

Your move, creep: Researchers building RoboCop policeman

FIU’s Discovery Lab developing telepresence patrol robots for disabled police officers

No AI yet, but soon they will. Also, researchers are currently working on predictive policing software in said institutions.


Not science fiction: Miami wants to predict when and where crime will occur

So keep laughing.
