A Microsoft engineer is bringing safety concerns about the company\u2019s AI image generator to the Federal Trade Commission, according to a report from CNBC. Shane Jones, who has worked for Microsoft for six years, wrote a letter to the FTC, stating that Microsoft \u201crefused\u201d to take down Copilot Designer despite repeated warnings that the tool is capable of generating harmful images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
When testing Copilot Designer for safety issues and flaws, Jones found that the tool generated \u201cdemons and monsters alongside terminology related to abortion rights, teenagers with assault rifles, sexualized images of women in violent tableaus, and underage drinking and drug use,\u201d CNBC reports. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Additionally, Copilot Designer reportedly generated images of Disney characters, such as Elsa from Frozen<\/em>, in scenes at the Gaza Strip \u201cin front of wrecked buildings and \u2018free Gaza\u2019 signs.\u201d It also created images of Elsa wearing an Israel Defense Forces uniform while holding a shield with Israel\u2019s flag. The Verge<\/em> was able to generate similar images using the tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jones has been trying to warn Microsoft about DALLE-3, the model used by Copilot Designer, since December, CNBC says. He posted an open letter about the issues on LinkedIn, but he was reportedly contacted by Microsoft\u2019s legal team to remove the post, which he did.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOver the last three months, I have repeatedly urged Microsoft to remove Copilot Designer from public use until better safeguards could be put in place,\u201d Jones wrote in the letter obtained by CNBC. \u201cAgain, they have failed to implement these changes and continue to market the product to \u2018Anyone. Anywhere. Any Device.\u2019\u201d Microsoft didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] A Microsoft engineer is bringing safety concerns about the company\u2019s AI image generator to the Federal Trade Commission, according to a report from CNBC.
