The 24 hour (Microsoft) Algorithm that went Rogue - Andrew White

Reports in the press today that just 24 hours after release, Microsoft closed down Tay, it's new artificially intelligent software chatbot. In its first day, Tay was seen tweeting anti-Semitic rants. See Microsoft Muzzles Artificially Intelligent Chatbot. I guess the real question here is this: Is the design of Tay at fault, or is this more a criticism of the design of us and our current society? I think that might be outside the scope of this blog.
