OpenAI and Microsoft's AI bot Copilot are on the hot seat for sexual and copyright-violating images

Microsoft engineer Shane Jones filed a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Wednesday alleging that its AI design tool Copilot is “not safe.”

Jones told CNBC in an interview that he was able to use Copilot to generate images of teenagers playing with assault rifles. He also said the tool would produce unsolicited violent, sexualized images of women and ones that may violate copyright laws.
