Microsoft cuts dozens of staff as it shifts to AI for MSN news stories
Dozens of Microsoft employees have lost their jobs due to workforce automation.
According to the Seattle Times and the Guardian, Microsoft has fired dozens of employees for using artificial intelligence for MSN News Stories.
Microsoft has laid off 50 employees in the United States and 27 in the United Kingdom.
These employees were in charge of news selection, editing, and presentation. However, full-time employees in the company will continue to work as before.
In a statement to the Times, Microsoft said that the termination of these employees was not related to the ongoing global epidemic.
However, in real life, this is a significant cause of job loss due to it.
The question is whether such large-scale automation will be effective. An employee fired by the company feared that artificial intelligence would not be able to comply with strict editorial guidelines, such as violent content. Remove immediately.
It is also a test of artificial intelligence to see if it is feasible to save.
