Brainy Fact
Tay was an artificial intelligence chatbot that was originally launched by Microsoft
Corporation on Twitter on March 23, 2016; When the bot started posting inflammatory
and offensive tweets through its Twitter account, it caused a subsequent controversy,
prompting Microsoft to shut down the service just 16 hours after its launch. According to
Microsoft, this was caused by trolls that "attacked" the service, as the bot responded based
on its interaction with people on Twitter.
AI and Ethical Concerns
Ethics is defined as the discipline that deals with human moral obligations and duties. It is a set of ethical principles that
regulate the behaviour and actions of individuals or groups. Artificial Intelligence ethics is a part of ethical technology
specific to robots and other artificially intelligent machines. Various AI ethical concerns are:
• If artificial intelligence produces human-like results, can it also take human-like decisions?
• If artificial intelligence decides whether to grant bank loans, will the AI algorithms be fair and just?
• If artificial intelligence makes human decisions, is it also worthy of human confidence?
• Artificial intelligence is basically data + mathematical model + data-based training + prediction. What if the data
provided for training is unintentionally skewed or biased?
• Will AI take over jobs?
These questions and concerns come up all the time, so the "ethics of Artificial Intelligence" is very important. We must
understand how artificial intelligence works and the framework of artificial intelligence ethics.

AI and Bias
AI bias is a phenomenon which occurs when algorithm results are systematically biased against a certain gender,
language, race, wealth, etc. AI bias leads to a skewed output. Algorithms can have inherent biases because they are
created by individuals with conscious or unconscious preferences, and these preferences may not be discovered until the
algorithm is used publicly (as we saw in the case of the hand dispenser and Google’s photo tagging algorithm).
