Microsoft closes the loophole that allowed the Taylor Swift incident

Microsoft has patched the vulnerability that let its AI image generator create lewd images of Taylor Swift.

Microsoft said that although it is actively investigating the issue and trying to stop service misuse, it could not verify that the images of Swift posted on Twitter were made with Designer. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in an interview with NBC News on Friday that “it’s our responsibility” to tighten the “ guardrails ” around AI technologies to prevent them from creating damaging content. Although the focus of one channel was on Microsoft Designer, an easily navigable tool, many other online methods exist for producing similarly hazardous content.
