obviously linkedin, microsoft acquired them.iticized salesforce for even pondering twitter. but salesforce wants to get smarter about who is the customers are and who they are talking to. they're looking for a social asset and there is a gap right now in the portfolio. we are going to see salesforce double, maybe they need a social asset or more of a brand in the consumer world. caroline: meanwhile, the social players get more enterprise focused. you have facebook for work, you saw google make inroads when it comes to enterprise. it seems to be the focus. brad: there are always two different paths, you start as an enterprise company and going to consumer, or the consumer companies with enterprise aspirations. we will see if that is marketing or reality. caroline: what are those dream force events like? brad: if you are here for next year, it is crazy. the city becomes very hard to get around because they close the streets. but salesforce puts on a good show and concert and it strengthens the reputation of san francisco and the b

microsoft... launching a new chatbot. why it says this one won't be taught to post racist comments... like its infamous predecessor tay. and talking cars? why the department of transportation wants to mandate high technology wakeup news. anchors adlib weather over live pic partly sunny and cold with now . wind chills will be sub-zero all day. when more snow arrives next. less than a year after a microsoft chat bot began spewing racist rants on twitter... the company has launched a new - and hopefully improved - bot. microsoft says it's learned from its mistakes with tay. that's why its new bot zo is on the messaging ap kik instead of twitter this time around. twit tay to say inappropriate things... including praise for adolph hitler... so microsoft is putting zo on a private messaging platform that's geared more toward teens. the company hopes the new platform will help control zo's conversations. the department of transportation wants all cars to be able to "talk" to each other and to traffic lights. officials say it'll

what you might not realize is that microsoft didn't do this unknowingly . they had a similar type of chatbot that was being used for two years previously, very successfully in china, interacting with as many as 40 million people so what was really the difference between when they rolled it out in china versus when they rolled something out on the general internet on twitter, that's what i will talk about. but the important thing here that i want to contrast from a technological standpoint is that out of the weekly in the machine learning space there's a lot of shared technology between these two systems so you might think that a computer program that going to play go would be very different than a robot, a chatbot that is going to interact conversationally with people but many of the methods underlying these are the same and so why was one system a major success and the other a major catastrophe? to understand this, let's go back to the beginning of ai. to learn a little bit about the history.ai has been around for about 60 years now. it was tarted as a fie

microsoft released an ai chat bot on to twitter, it was called tay and it was designed to mimic a young teenage girl that an ai robot was supposed to interact with millennials and learn how to engage them in conversations on twitter and this experiment went horribly wrong, if you didn't see about this in the news. within 24 hours this pleasant teenaged chat bot turned into a racist abusive sexist entity and microsoft removed it from the internet within 24 hours of releagues it and apologized profusely about the event and the important thing here is that they didn't anticipate this was going to happen. some of the news that was explained what was going on blamed us as humans for being horrible people on twitter and turning this cute little chat bot into a horrible mess. what you might not realize is that microsoft didn't do this unknowingly they had a similar type of chat baht called jao ice that was being used for two years previously very successfully in china and it was interacting with as many as 40 million people so what was the difference between when they rolled it out in china ve
