Tay inexplicably added the "repeat after me" phrase to the parroted content on at least some tweets, implying that users should repeat what the chatbot said.Quickly realizing its teenage bot had been radicalized into a genocidal, Nazi-loving, Donald Trump supporter, Microsoft shut Tay down. According to Tay's "about" page linked to the Twitter profile, "Tay is an artificial intelligent chat bot developed by Microsoft's Technology and Research and Bing teams to experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding". Unfortunately, Microsoft continues, within the first 24 hours of coming online, they became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills to have it respond in inappropriate ways. Apple Temporarily Pulls iOS 9.3 Update for Older iOS Devices It will then click on "All my devices" and select the device before clicking "Delete Account" and restart the terminal again. The video below (and its comments) will give you some idea about what to expect if you're coming from iOS 8 to iOS 9.3.

Meet Atlas, designed by Boston Dynamics, funded by DARPA. You buy your kid a new toy, and a few weeks later, you find it tossed into a corner, forgotten and unloved. Well, something similar just happened at Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) -- although it took years, rather than weeks, to happen. Three years after buying itself probably the coolest robot company on Earth, Google has gotten bored -- and is selling Boston Dynamics. History is awesome Struck by the potential for building robots, and outfitting them with artificial intelligence, Google spent much of 2013 running around, frantically buying up robotics companies.

The six astronauts at the International Space Station got an early Easter treat this weekend with the arrival of a supply ship full of fresh food and experiments. Instead of the usual bunny, Saturday's delivery came via a swan -- Orbital ATK's Cygnus capsule, named after the swan constellation. The cargo carrier rocketed away from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday night. NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra used the station's big robot arm to grab the capsule, as the two craft soared 250 miles above the Indian Ocean. Four hours later, the capsule was bolted firmly to the complex.

The UK Government has launched an inquiry into the robotics and artificial intelligence segment, to evaluate its rising influence and impact on society. The UK Government has initiated an inquiry into Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), given its rising influence and daunting advancement in technology. They intend to determine what impact the rise of AI will have at a holistic level on the workforce and the society in general. Further, the corresponding social, legal and ethical aspects also need to be scrutinized. This inquiry will be carried out by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee.

In a Washington Post article, several potential issues are discussed. The questions of whether a being a person is the same as being human, and whether a robot could ever be considered a person, have no clear answers. Whether a robot can be considered'a natural-born citizen' would also need to be decided.

IBM's Watson, the computational genius that has bested "Jeopardy" champions, published a cookbook and even been unleashed in the fight against cancer, now has what is perhaps its greatest challenge: taking on the federal procurement morass. For years, government agencies have tried to find ways to make the purchasing process more efficient. But now the Air Force has come to the conclusion that humans cannot on their own manage the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 1,897 pages of the densest prose on the planet. The only way to navigate a stifling bureaucracy that virtually everyone agrees is broken is to turn to the power of the machine. The Air Force is working with two vendors, both of which have chosen Watson, IBM's cognitive learning computer, to develop programs that would harness artificial intelligence to help businesses and government acquisitions officials work through the mind-numbing system.

A Russian cargo ship will lift off Thursday, followed by a SpaceX supply run on April 8. NASA has turned to private industry to keep the space station stocked.

UPDATE: March 24, 2016, 3:32 p.m. EDT: Microsoft has "taken Tay offline" and is "making adjustments" to her. The company gave TechCrunch the following statement on Tay's status: "The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement. It is as much a social and cultural experiment, as it is technical. Unfortunately, within the first 24 hours of coming online, we became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills to have Tay respond in inappropriate ways. As a result, we have taken Tay offline and are making adjustments."

For interaction designers, it's becoming common to encounter privacy concerns as part of the design process. Rich online experiences often require the personalization of services, involving the use of people's information. Because gathering information to personalize a customer experience can interfere with the overall experience -- with negative consequences for the business -- how do we navigate this increasingly difficult territory? What are the guidelines to follow when using data to personalize digital experiences, and how can organizations help people feel comfortable with personalization services that research clearly shows people want? Exchanging personal information for things we want, whether physical or virtual, is nothing new. Long before the Internet, we freely published our home phone numbers and addresses in public directories.

Is your government ready for the Internet of Things (IoT)? The news media has been full of stories of self-driving cars being tested around the world and drones being used in diverse places. But a quiet global technology revolution is now occurring that is transforming the way we live and work in almost every area of life. And while robots at Amazon and smart home devices seem to be getting regular media attention, much more is happening in cyberspace. We live in exciting times with vast technological possibilities merging our online and offline lives.
