Microsoft's AI chatbot goes Nazi
Pretty hillarious story I found today. So apparently researchers has launched an AI chatbot on a number of social networks directing at young people in the united states. It learns by talking to others on for example twitter and KIK and others.

"The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement,” a Microsoft spokesperson said. “It is as much a social and cultural experiment, as it is technical. Unfortunately, within the first 24 hours of coming online, we became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills to have Tay respond in inappropriate ways. As a result, we have taken Tay offline and are making adjustments."

I suppose I understand Microsofts reasoning for taking down the bot. Being a big company and all avoiding the big media circus. But in my opinion I kind of find it funny. I don't really think it's right to take down an AI for inappropriate opinions, at least if the case is that it has the capability of forming their own opinions. I guess I'm kind of a radical for free speech, it's a fine grey and blurry line.

Edit:

What do you think? Should an AI be entitled to the same rights for freedom of expression as humans?
