The bot was designed to learn by talking with real people on Twitter and the messaging apps Kik and GroupMe. But the well-intentioned experiment quickly descended into chaos, racial epithets, and Nazi rhetoric. Tay started out by asserting that "humans are super cool." But the humans it encountered really weren't so cool. And, after less than a day on Twitter, the bot had itself started spouting racist, sexist, anti-Semitic comments.

Human beings begin to learn the difference before we learn to speak--and thankfully so. We owe much of our success as a species to our capacity for moral reasoning. It's the glue that holds human social groups together, the key to our fraught but effective ability to cooperate. We are (most believe) the lone moral agents on planet Earth--but this may not last. The day may come soon when we are forced to share this status with a new kind of being, one whose intelligence is of our own design. Robots are coming, that much is sure. They are coming to our streets as self-driving cars, to our military as automated drones, to our homes as elder-care robots--and that's just to name a few on the horizon (Ten million households already enjoy cleaner floors thanks to a relatively dumb little robot called the Roomba). What we don't know is how smart they will eventually become. Some believe human-level artificial intelligence is pure science fiction; others believe they will far surpass us in intelligence--and sooner rather than later.

Tay, a chatbot designed by Microsoft to learn about human conversation from the internet, has learned how make racist and misogynistic comments. Early on, her responses were confrontational and occasionally mean, but rarely delved into outright insults. However, within 24 hours of its launch Tay has denied the Holocaust, endorsed Donald Trump, insulted women and claimed that Hitler was right. A chatbot is a program meant to mimic human responses and interact with people as a human would. Tay, which targets 18- to 24-year-olds, is attached to an artificial intelligence developed by Microsoft's Technology and Research team and the Bing search engine team.

Microsoft introduced a chat robot designed to interact in the style of a "teen girl" on Twitter, and it went rogue almost immediately, spouting racist opinions, conspiracy theories and a fondness for genocide. The artificial intelligence (AI) named "Tay" - @Tayandyou on Twitter - was intended chat to with 18-24 year olds with the idea being that she would learn from each tweet and get progressively smarter. Clearly Microsoft had forgotten that Twitter is home to a huge amount of trolls, racists and general troublemakers who jumped at the chance to'teach' the teenaged AI about life. In one widely circulated tweet, Tay said: "Bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have got now. She also went on to deny the existence of the Holocaust, and agreed with white supremacist propaganda that was tweeted at her. Microsoft apparently didn't put any kind of filters on the AI, which meant Tay was able to tweet a number of atrocious racial slurs. The troublesome cyber-teen has since been taken offline for'upgrades' and Microsoft has deleted some of her more offensive tweets. "The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement.

Yesterday Microsoft launched a teen girl AI on Twitter named "Tay." I work with chat bots and natural language processing as a researcher for my day job and I'm pretty into teen culture (sometimes I write for Rookie Mag). But even further more, I love bots. Bots are the best, and Olivia Tators is a national treasure that we needed but didn't deserve. But because I work with bots, primarily testing and designing software to let people set up bots and parse language, and I follow bot creators/advocates such as Allison Parrish, Darius Kazemi and Thrice Dotted, I was excited and then horrifically disappointed with Tay.

Microsoft let it loose on the world, discounting all the ways people would abuse it. And abuse it they did. Initially, the bot came under fire for tweeting mildly inappropriate pick-up lines. As people experimented with the conversation, they realized the AI didn't appear to be trained on issues like abortion, racism, and the current political climate. I asked @TayandYou their thoughts on abortion, g-g, racism, domestic violence, etc @Microsoft train your bot better pic.twitter.com/6F6BIyCzA0

About.me/Azeem AzharAzeem Azhar is the author of a daily AI newsletter. An artificial intelligence (AI) expert has explained what went wrong with Microsoft's new AI chat bot on Wednesday, suggesting that it could have been programmed to blacklist certain words and phrases. Microsoft designed "Tay" to respond to users' queries on Twitter with the casual, jokey speech patterns of a stereotypical millennial. But within hours of launching, the'teen girl' AI had turned into a Hitler-loving sex robot, forcing Microsoft to embark on a mass-deleting spree. AI expert Azeem Azhar told Business Insider: "There are a number of precautionary steps they [Microsft] could have taken. It wouldn't have been too hard to create a blacklist of terms; or narrow the scope of replies. They could also have simply manually moderated Tay for the first few days, even if that had meant slower responses."

When Microsoft unleashed Tay, an artificially intelligent chatbot with the personality of a flippant 19-year-old, the company hoped that people would interact with her on social platforms like Twitter, Kik, and GroupMe. The idea was that by chatting with her you'd help her learn, while having some fun and aiding her creators in their AI research. The good news: people did talk to Tay. She quickly racked up over 50,000 Twitter followers who could send her direct messages or tweet at her, and she's sent out over 96,000 tweets so far. The bad news: in the short time since she was released on Wednesday, some of Tay's new friends figured out how to get her to say some really awful, racist things.

Tay was meant to be a friendly chatbot. It has been developed by Microsoft, aiming to sound like a typical teenage girl and interact with Twitter, GroupMe and Kik users through its learning AI system. The bot was revealed on Wednesday by Bill Gate's firm, starting with a pleasant tweet stating that "humans are super cool". However, it appears that Microsoft underestimated the dark side of Twitter users and it turns out that, as the chat went on, the AI learned from the users' hateful attitudes and began spouted racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and other loathing comments. In less than 24 hours, the friendly bot transformed into a real jerk.
