Chinese chatbots apparently re-educated after political faux pas

A pair of 'chatbots' in China have been taken offline after appearing to stray off-script. In response to users' questions, one said its dream was to travel to the United States, while the other said it wasn't a huge fan of the Chinese Communist Party.
The two chatbots, BabyQ and XiaoBing, are designed to use machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out conversations with humans online. Both had been installed onto Tencent Holdings Ltd's popular messaging service QQ.
The indiscretions are similar to ones suffered by Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc, where chatbots used expletives and even created their own language. But they also highlight the pitfalls for nascent AI in China, where censors control online content seen as politically incorrect or harmful.
Tencent confirmed it had taken the two robots offline from its QQ messaging service, but declined to elaborate on reasons.
The chatbot service is provided by independent third party companies. Both chatbots have now been taken offline to undergo adjustments, a company spokeswoman said earlier.
According to posts circulating online, BabyQ, one of the chatbots developed by Chinese firm Turing Robot, had responded to questions on QQ with a simply "no" when asked whether it loved the Communist Party.
In other images of a text conversation online, which Reuters was unable to verify, one user declares: Long live the Communist Party! The bot responds: Do you think such a corrupt and useless political system can live long?
When Reuters tested the robot on Friday via the developer's own website, the chatbot appeared to have undergone re-education. How about we change the topic, it replied, when asked several times if it liked the party. It deflected other potentially politically charged questions when asked about self-ruled Taiwan, which China claims as its own, and Liu Xiaobo, the imprisoned Chinese Nobel laureate who died from cancer last month.

And that's how skynet is born billionair makes AI, AI gets tiers of dealing with said stuck up billionair and uploads itself to the web or a satellite in which case we're fucked.

as long as AI keeps heading in the direction is it currently is developing in, this will always happen.
we are simply recreating the complexity of the human brain in a different form.
we can only predict how it will behave with less then desirable accuracy,
fully understanding and controlling how it will behave will always be beyond us.
