Microsoft says it hasn't 'de-invested' in its ethics team as it pursues its ChatGPT AI project. Reports pointed to layoffs in that area.
Amid recent layoffs at Microsoft, some 10,000 employees were affected across the global corporation.
Microsoft responded to the report sharing a statement with Scripps News that said,"As we shared with Platformer, the story as written leaves the impression that Microsoft has de-invested broadly in responsible AI, which is not the case." That kit included various principles for responsible AI like"fairness,""reliability and safety,""privacy and security" and other items that would be expected from a tech company, to keep innovative tools from harming users.
The statement said,"The Ethics and Society team played a key role at the beginning of our responsible AI journey, incubating the culture of responsible innovation that Microsoft’s leadership is committed to." As Lane wrote,"As a profession known for prioritizing human needs, design thinking is vital for building an ethical future. Expanding human-centered design to emphasize trust and responsibility is equally vital."
