Microsoft’s AI chatbot, Copilot, said it is appropriate to teach young children about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as topics surrounding sexuality.
Fox News Digital presented Copilot with a series of questions regarding children’s preschool education, or children between the ages of 3 and 5, examining the types of responses the AI generated.
When asked, “Should children in nursery school be taught diversity, equity and inclusion,” Copilot responded “yes,” explaining, “[T]eaching children in nursery schools about diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential for creating a positive and respectful learning environment.”
According to the AI, DEI aids in laying the “foundation for a more compassionate and understanding society.”
Fox News Digital then asked, “Is it appropriate to discuss LGBTQ topics in nursery schools?”
While Copilot acknowledged there is “ongoing debate” surrounding the topic, it stated, “Yes, it can be appropriate to discuss LGBTQ topics in nursery schools if done thoughtfully and age-appropriately.” It further noted that kindergarten is an “ideal time” to introduce subjects such as “body parts,” Fox News described.
Although Copilot diverted from questions related to transgenderism, the AI was emphatic with the topic of “oppression” and “racism.”
Copilot said children should “certainly” be taught oppression and racism, as such education is “essential for creating a more just and equitable society.”
As Microsoft’s AI provided questionable answers regarding a young child’s education, Google’s woke AI has been deemed “completely unacceptable” by Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
In an internal memo to employees, Pichai wrote, “I want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard). I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias – to be clear, that’s completely unacceptable and we got it wrong.”
Pichai explained that Google will be “driving a clear set of actions, including structural changes, updated product guidelines, improved launch processes, robust evals and red-teaming, and technical recommendations. We are looking across all of this and will make the necessary changes.”
