Microsoft's racist robot and the problem with AI development

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
