Microsoft engineer sounds alarm on company's AI image generator in letter to FTC

A Microsoft employee has raised concerns about the safety of the company's AI tool, Copilot Designer, after discovering it can produce inappropriate images. Shane Jones, a principal software engineering manager, submitted a letter to the Federal Trade Commission and Microsoft's board of directors, claiming the tool generated "harmful content" including explicit, violent, and politically biased images. Jones urged for better safeguards and called on the FTC to educate the public, particularly parents and teachers, about the risks of using the tool. Microsoft responded by stating its commitment to addressing employee concerns and enhancing safety measures. This follows recent criticisms of Google's AI image generator for producing historically inaccurate images involving race.
