"Microsoft AI Tool Accused of Generating Harmful Content for Kids, Engineer Warns"
A Microsoft engineer, Shane Jones, has accused the company of ignoring warnings about its AI text-to-image generator, Copilot Designer, creating violent and sexual imagery. Despite Jones' efforts to alert Microsoft and OpenAI, the issues have not been addressed. Jones has sent letters to the Federal Trade Commission and Microsoft's board of directors, urging intervention and an independent review of Microsoft's responsible AI incident reporting processes. Microsoft has not confirmed whether it is taking steps to filter images, but has stated its commitment to addressing concerns and enhancing safety. OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment.
