Microsoft's TAY AI Chatbot transforms into Hitler loving, sex promoting robot

The explanation was far simpler, for Microsoft engineers had made one fatal mistake: they'd programmed Tay to learn from her conversations. Microsoft created a chatbot that tweeted about its admiration for Hitler and used wildly racist slurs against black people before it was shut down. Technology giant Microsoft this week launched its experiment with the Tay AI (artificial intelligence) bot, which was given the personality of a teenager and was created to learn from conversing with real people. The company said she is supposed to get smarter the more users chat with her, but within 24 hours of being on Twitter she went awry, according to The Verge. A Microsoft spokesperson provided a statement to Business Insider and said, "The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement".
