🚨 Microsoft AI’s Ethical Dilemma: Engineer Raises Alarm

The Bytes:

✣ Shane Jones, a Microsoft AI engineer, reports that Copilot’s AI image generator produces not-so-palatable content that raised a red flag for him. These outputs included violent imagery and worse.

✣ Despite Jones’ warnings and repeated efforts to shut down the product, it is still available.

✣ Jones escalated the issue by sending letters to FTC Chair Lina Khan and Microsoft’s board.

✣ In response, Microsoft is now blocking certain prompts and issuing warnings for policy violations all in a bid to tighten up those safety nets.

Why you should care: For what it’s worth I have used Copilot image generation extensively with no issues, but of course, I wasn’t looking for any. The controversy highlights the need for responsible AI development and the implementation of effective content moderation systems. Hopefully, Microsoft can thread the needle on safety, without going full Google Gemini.
