BONUS ART OF ASK AN EXPERT – TAY CHATBOT DISASTER……

This week’s bonus art comes from Ask An Expert’s Futurist, social entrepreneur, computer scientist and author Federico Pistono. The topic, robotics!

Federico discussed some of the controversy surrounding MicroSoft’s attempt at deep learning AI  through twitter interactions, which were personified as a young girl.

And as all things that deal with the internet, things went south real quick. Internet trolls took over and soon enough the bot started spewing hate speech and conspiracy theories.
