Microsoft AI Boss: "We Will Never Build a Sex Robot"
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, recently stated in an interview with MIT Technology Review that Microsoft will not develop sex robots. Suleyman firmly addressed questions about the ethical boundaries of artificial intelligence technology, emphasizing that Microsoft AI's development direction prioritizes human dignity and safety.
During the interview, Suleyman also discussed several tensions related to chatbot design. He expressed a sense of responsibility for the impact of artificial intelligence on society, stating that he takes ethical issues that may arise during technology development seriously. In particular, he shared his concerns about the accuracy and fairness of the information chatbots provide to users, and how chatbots respect human values in their interactions with users. Based on these concerns, Microsoft is focusing on improving the safety and reliability of the Copilot chatbot.
Meanwhile, Microsoft recently announced a major update to the Copilot chatbot. This update focuses on improving the user experience and expanding Copilot's functionality. In particular, a group chat function has been newly added, allowing users to collaborate more conveniently through Copilot. In addition, the "Real Talk" feature supports chatbots in having more realistic and sincere conversations, allowing users to communicate with Copilot in a more natural way. These features are expected to make Copilot a more powerful companion that supports users' daily lives and work, going beyond a simple information provider.
Another notable feature in this Copilot update is the enhanced memory function. Copilot can now remember users' upcoming events or long-term goals, and recall information mentioned in past conversations. This is expected to play an important role in deepening Copilot's relationship with users and providing personalized services. For example, Copilot can remind users of a meeting scheduled for next week or update the progress of a project discussed last month. These features will make users see Copilot not just as a tool for searching for information, but as a personal assistant.
Microsoft has added an animated yellow blob called "Mico" to make Copilot easier to use and engage younger users. Mico is expected to make interacting with Copilot more fun and friendly. Younger users can access Copilot more easily through Mico and have a positive perception of artificial intelligence technology. Microsoft plans to expand Copilot's user base through Mico and lead the popularization of artificial intelligence technology. The addition of Mico is expected to contribute to making Copilot an artificial intelligence platform that is easy for users of all ages to use.
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung expressed his anticipation for the development of artificial intelligence technology and stated that he would spare no support for strengthening South Korea's artificial intelligence technology competitiveness. President Lee emphasized that the government would actively support artificial intelligence technology to contribute to economic growth and improve the quality of life for the people. In addition, U.S. President Donald Trump also emphasized the importance of artificial intelligence technology and stated that he would expand investment to maintain the United States' artificial intelligence technology competitiveness. President Trump emphasized that artificial intelligence technology will play an important role in national security and economic development, and added that he would accelerate artificial intelligence technology innovation through cooperation between the government and the private sector.
