Microsoft Build 2016: A Chatbot AI Army Is The Future Even After 'Tay' Failure

Microsoft's AI experiment, the Twitter chatbot TayandYou, went off the rails after being exposed to the internet for a day, but the U.S. tech giant has not given up its artificial intelligence plans. CEO Satya Nadella is expected to reveal a future surrounded by chatbots during Wednesday's Build 2016 keynote. While Tay may appeal to millennials, Microsoft AI will cater to different audiences with personalities to match. The Microsoft Build 2016 keynote speech Wednesday will emphasize a future with chatbot assistants helping people live their digital lives, Bloomberg Businessweek reported. At Microsoft Build 2016, Nadella will unveil several chatbots that users can interact with via text, can appear in Skype or can serve a valuable service for the visually impaired.
