Brace yourselves, Microsoft doesn't care about AI guidelines anymore

. As more companies rush to burp out more AI-enhanced products, making the team in charge of ethics and development seems like a very strange decision that looks like the company is prioritizing speed over safety.

According to Verge, the terminated employees stated that “People would look at the principles coming out of our offices and say ‘I don't know how this applies’” and it was their job to “show and create rules in areas where there were none”. The team had recently worked on a larger ‘’ that included a roleplaying game called ‘Judgement Call’ that helped designers think about potential issues or harm that could come about during product development.

The remaining ethics and society members have said the smaller crew has made implementing their future plans difficult. Microsoft Employees in their open memoLast year the ethics and society team put out athat outlined the brand risks that would be associated with the Bing Image Creator, which uses DALL-E . The image generator has become incredibly popular and has proved to have a plethora of uses - we made anwith it last month.

Clearly, Microsoft is rushing to put unstable technology into the hands of the general public and it doesn’t take a team of experts to point out what kind of damage can be done with that kind of mindset.

Communicating Health Literacy on Prescription Medications on Social Media: In-depth Interviews With “Patient Influencers”Communicating Health Literacy on Prescription Medications on Social Media: In-depth Interviews With “Patient Influencers”Background: Historically, pharmaceutical companies have struggled with trust and brand reputation among key stakeholders and have adopted innovative marketing strategies to reach patients directly and rebuild those relationships. Social media influencers are a popular strategy to influence younger demographics, including Generation Z and millennials. It is common for social media influencers to work in paid partnerships with brands; this is a multibillion-dollar industry. Long have patients been active in online health communities and social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, but in recent years, pharmaceutical marketers have noticed the power of patient persuasion and begun to leverage “patient influencers” in brand campaigns.
