Zo is the new microsoft chatbot for facebook, twitter and snapchat

Zo is the new artificial intelligence created by Microsoft with which we can start conversations on social networks, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat.

Replaces Tay as conversational artificial intelligence

Microsoft insists on the field of conversational artificial intelligence with Zo, a kind of evolution of its previous and failed Twiitter Bot called Tay, which we remember, became evil because of users.

Apparently, the new AI will be smarter and Microsoft does not want to make the same mistakes it made with Tay on that occasion. For this they have taken certain precautions from the beginning, since we are going to need a previous invitation to be able to start conversations with this bot.

Zo won't talk about certain 'controversial' topics

From the beginning, Zo is programmed not to talk about certain 'controversial' issues such as xenophobia and racism. This is an important difference from Tay, who had no limitations whatsoever on what she should learn from her conversations with real people, and was therefore vulnerable to 'trolls' comments.

Microsoft intends to start slowly and do things correctly so that Zo can learn from human language. Microsoft's intention would be to feed Cortana back with all of Zo's knowledge and thus create a better virtual assistant.

Zo is available for Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat, although this is not the first time we see her, she was already available for Kik Messenger a long time ago.
