"According to Platformer, Microsoft's recent layoffs included its entire ethics and society team within the artificial intelligence organization. The tech gient is now left without a team that ensure AI product design aligns with the value of responsible AI."
Microsoft is going all in on it's own AI like chat-bot, recently releasing Bing AI to it own web browser, Microsoft Edge. Microsoft recently sign a deal with GMC back in 2021 to bring ChatGPT like AI voice-asisstant to the car marker. Microsoft will also use this time to gather data to bring about it's own self-driving car. I would say this is a cause for concern with Microsoft laying off a part of their AI team, especially moving forward with everything they have in place. Only time will tell...
