Microsoft Under Fire for AI-Powered News Curation Gone Awry

Microsoft's reliance on AI to curate its MSN homepage has led to the promotion of false, bizarre, and hyper-partisan stories.

Microsoft laid off hundreds of human editors in recent years, replacing them with "automation."

Prominent news outlets like The Guardian have accused Microsoft of damaging their reputation by misusing their content with AI tools.

Obscure websites are being elevated and gaining millions of views after being featured on Microsoft's homepage.

Critics argue Microsoft is failing to take responsibility for the real-world impact of its AI news curation.
