Microsoft's most advanced AI is doing the morning news weather report on Chinese TV
Xiaoice, the megapopular Microsoft-made chatbot with whom users are literally falling in love, is apparently good enough at her job to do the weather report on a live broadcast of China's Dragon News.
Check it out:
Xiaoice herself is intended by Microsoft to be an AI that's as personable and easy to talk to as a real live human - a softer, kinder alternative to Apple's Siri and Microsoft's own Cortana. To make that happen, the Xiaoice software reads social media and message boards all day to learn how people actually talk to each other.
It's a big hit. Microsoft's latest numbers place usage of Xiaoace at around 40 million users, with 25% of those users having said "I love you" to her at one point or another. It's more than a little bit like that movie "Her."
Xiaoice was born from Microsoft Research's labs in China, with no plans to come to the U.S. So it'll probably be at least a while before robots read the news on American TV.
