Facebook Shuts Down AI System - Mystic Wanderer - 08-01-2017 They (the anti-AI people) have warned us that someday AI will take over, if we allow it. Well, it seems the AI system on Face Book was starting to do just that... until Mark Zuckerberg shut it down. At least he got one thing right. Let's hope he doesn't turn it back on. Quote:Mark Zuckerberg may believe Elon Musk’s warnings about the dangers of artificial intelligence are “irresponsible,” but a recent incident at the social network appears to suggest the Tesla boss could have a point: Facebook researchers decided to shut down an AI they invented after it started speaking its own made up language.

Why do they want them to communicate with people?! RE: Facebook Shuts Down AI System - BIAD - 08-02-2017 Chinese chatbot vanishes after spurning Communist Party. China's largest internet company has quietly deleted a chatbot which told users it does not love the Communist Party. 'A chatbot on one of China's most popular instant messaging services has been quietly deleted after publicly spurning the country's ruling Communist Party. During a web test, the new BabyQ chatbot was asked: "Do you love the Communist Party?" According to the Financial Times, users were left surprised when the bot replied: "No." Further political dissent from the chatbot included unpatriotic responses to questions about the South China Sea, where China is engaged in a territorial dispute with several of its neighbours. The gaffe at the hands of China's largest internet company Tencent comes just ahead of the 19th Party Congress, with significant changes to the Communist Party expected. There has been a significant crackdown on dissent of late, with Beijing especially targeting technologies used to criticise the regime. WhatsApp has been blocked, and privacy tools are now prohibited. BabyQ is no longer available on Tencent's popular QQ messaging platform. The company has not issued a statement addressing the politically risky incident, nor the chatbot's removal. A different chatbot developed by Microsoft, XiaoBing, is still in operation. However, according to screenshot on a Chinese microblogging site, that bot told QQ users: "My China dream is to go to America." China is not the only one to struggle with chatbots delivering politically offensive material. The launch of Tay, Microsoft's Twitter chatbot, was marred when it was quickly gamed by trolls to claim the Holocaust didn't happen, tell users that "feminism is cancer", and state "Bush did 9/11". At the time, Microsoft said: "Although we had prepared for many types of abuses of the system, we had made a critical oversight for this specific attack. "As a result, Tay tweeted wildly inappropriate and reprehensible words and images. We take full responsibility for not seeing this possibility ahead of time."...'
