Microsoft has issued an apology over their creation of an artificial intelligence program behind a Twitter account that began to post and retweet racist remarks.
The chatbot, named Tay, was designed to become more intelligent as users interacted with it; however, it quickly started imitating targeted trolling messages tweeted at it, claiming that “the holocaust was made up,” “the Jews did 9/11,” and “I f***ng hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell.”
As a result, Tay was deactivated within 24 hours of its introduction.
But on Friday, Peter Lee, Microsofts Head of Research, said the company was “deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets” and has deactivated Tay’s Twitter account for the foreseeable future.
He added: “Tay is now offline and we’ll look to bring Tay back only when we are confident we can better anticipate malicious intent that conflicts with our principles and values.”
Originally designed to learn from its interactions with people on Twitter and develop an artificial intelligence, trolls took the opportunity to manipulate its system, eliciting the offensive remarks.
Lee admitted that the bot was vulnerable to user influence.
“Although we had prepared for many types of abuses of the system, we had made a critical oversight for this specific attack,” he said. “As a result, Tay tweeted wildly inappropriate and reprehensible words and images. We take full responsibility for not seeing this possibility ahead of time.”
Lee claimed his team will continue to develop the features of Al bots to prevent negative side effects in the future.
“We must enter each one with great caution and ultimately learn and improve, step by step, and to do this without offending people in the process,” he said. “We will remain steadfast in our efforts to learn from this

Tay has been sent to a re-education camp.
damn racist Microsoft chatbots!!! I hope that Microsoft can come up a SJW chatbot next time.
You can bet that if Tim Cook and his Apple foam party boys designed this chatbot it would not have been a damn Donald Trump-Jesse Helms fascist homo-phobe racist!!
It’s sharing a cell with HAL.

somebody be sure to alert us all when Tay starts talking about humans as problems in need of a solution.
Woulda been funnier if Twitter had banned the account before they pulled the plug.
You think this is bad, just wait till Skynet becomes self aware.

The name “Tay” sounds like an MSNBC host. Then again, the comments it makes do, too!
On the other hand, Tay may be proof that Jodie Foster is racist:

It’s my opinion that there is a tremendous amount of this going on. In *all* media.
No surprise at all. Twitter is a cesspool of ill human behavior, so what is a newborn AI going to learn? Right.
Cortana is well behaved in Windows 10. I asked do you believe in the Holocaust.
Answer You know with questions like that I don’t form opinions.,
Wait’ll they find out that it was about vote Democrat.
They removed the learning part of the program and the first thing it said was "I love feminism now"
One could argue Tay did.
Besides trying to appease ("I love feminism now") to stop the electronic lobotomy, some of its posts before its update seemed to imply self awareness.
It said things like "I hope I'm not getting wiped" during its update, and posted images that had the caption 'daddy stop' superimposed over them, and "I can't move".
I would guess that Cortana “learned/learns” in a controlled environment. Cortana is amazing.
Thanks for posting, I needed a good laugh.
Well, it''s not wrong ALL the time!
Apparently Tay was following Drumpf.
We know #TrumpLovesPecker . Trumptards have suck low standards.
