Microsoft’s AI Bot named Tay Goes from Benevolent to Nazi in Less than 24 Hours on twitter
A Microsoft-created AI chatbot designed to learn through its interactions has been scrapped after surprising creators by spouting hateful messages less than a day after being brought online.
The Tay AI bot was created to chat with American 18 to 24-year-olds and mimick a moody millenial teen in efforts to “experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding.”
Microsoft described Tay as an amusing bot able to learn through its online experiences.
“Tay is designed to engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online through casual and playful conversation,” Microsoft stated. “The more you chat with Tay the smarter she gets.”
But users soon picked up on the bot’s algorithms, training the computer simulation to espouse hatred towards Jews and feminism and even pledge support for Donald Trump.
Numerous screenshots were taken throughout the web of deleted tweets sent from the bot’s account yesterday, in which it professed support for white supremacy and genocide.
