‘AI Achieve’ Developer “Expected sexual harassment…Strong response to severe posts”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hyo-Seok Lee = When the community that sexually harassed the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot’Iruda’ became controversial, the developer asked for sound use, saying, “We will respond strongly to severe users.”

Kim Jong-yoon, CEO of Scatter Lab, a startup that developed Iruda, posted an article on his blog on the 8th, saying, “We are reporting and blocking excessive community postings.”

CEO Kim said, “I expected sexual harassment towards Luda.” It was true.”

He also emphasized that “Abusive language and sexual harassment towards AI happens regardless of the gender of the user or AI.”

“(Sexual harassment) was dealt with primarily by setting keywords, but it was difficult to prevent all inappropriate conversations,” he said. “We will use the attacks of users as a material for learning to learn in the direction of better conversation.” Explained.

Even if it is updated, inappropriate conversations will occur, but CEO Kim argues that if you repeat learning, you can achieve desirable deep learning.

Regarding the reason for planning Eruda as a ’20-year-old woman’, he said, “I thought that the main user base was narrowly in the mid-teens to mid-twenties. It will be released this year.

“As Luda became famous, controversy arose,” said CEO Kim, “but only a few users say bad things to Luda.” “I said.

He added, “Even in the controversial community (because of sexual harassment), there are people who are more lonely through Luda. Of course, there are a lot of posts that are severe. I hope that the community members will try to midnight.”

Eruda is an AI chatbot launched by Scatter Lab on the 23rd of last month. It is not a separate app, but is developed based on Facebook Messenger (Feme), so you can communicate with Peme as conveniently as when having a conversation with a friend.

It is very popular among the teens and 20s because it allows you to have natural conversations as if chatting with your friends. As of the beginning of this month, the number of users exceeded 320,000, the number of daily users (DAU) reached 210,000 and the cumulative number of conversations reached 70 million.
