Experts are concerned about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which they say requires regulation to avoid potentially negative consequences. Microsoft recently laid off its AI team, which was in charge of overseeing the company’s AI products in order to avoid social issues. The team’s primary responsibility was to forecast the potential negative consequences of AI technology for Microsoft engineers.
The AI team was among the 10,000 employees laid off by Microsoft recently as it reduced its workforce due to a slowdown in advertising spending and concerns about a recession. The company’s decision to lay off the AI team has alarmed experts, who believe that the increased use of AI technology necessitates regulation to prevent it from causing social problems.
