A Microsoft software engineer, Shane Jones, has raised serious concerns about the security of the company’s AI image generation tool, Copilot Designer. Jones sent letters to the company’s board, lawmakers, and the Federal Trade Commission, warning that the tech giant is not doing enough to safeguard its AI image generation tool from creating abusive and violent content. He discovered a security vulnerability in OpenAI’s latest DALL-E image generator model, which allowed him to bypass guardrails preventing the tool from creating harmful images. The DALL-E model is embedded in many of Microsoft’s AI tools, including Copilot Designer.
