SimSimi chatbot banned in Thailand

Who is responsible for the actions of a self-learning AI? SimSimi's de-facto execution by Thai authorities leaves questions unanswered. The AI chat robot SimSimi has been making waves in Thailand over the past few weeks, being the latest craze for the smartphone savvy crowd. But it stoked controversy and even protests, and has now been effectively banned from Thailand for showing the political leaders a reflection of something they do not wish to see. SimSimi is an artificial intelligence chatbot. It uses fuzzy logic algorithms to learn and respond to sentences that it knows and asks you to teach it sentences that it does not know. With enough of a user base, the idea is sound, and it learns and improves through more and more user interaction.
